This is an essential guide for anyone following an NVQ Level 4 in Leadership and Management in Care Services. Structured to follow the four compulsory units and 17 of the most useful optional units, this bestselling resource has been completely rewritten to match the new qualification. It covers both adult care and child care, exploring areas that cross over into both settings and enabling candidates to consider the knowledge and skills that are common and different to each. The book also offers candidates wider support with advice on: - Legal requirements and standards, with links to key websites for further information - The nature of your NVQ and how to prepare evidence for assessment - Different settings and responsibilities to encourage transferable skills across sectors. Written by a highly experienced NVQ trainer and Verifier, the book consistently links between 'what you need to know' and 'what you need to do' through activities that will help candidates to generate evidence from real work performance. It will also enable managers to address the reflective practice element common to many of the NVQ units by encouraging candidates to demonstrate how real work performances have changed and enhanced practice in their roles and settings.
