Maths and English skills are used daily in Social Care. They are vital for communicating with service users from listening, asking questions to recording information. They are used in enabling and promoting independent life skills such as budgeting, meal preparation and medication.
These functional skills open opportunities to grow your confidence in these subjects and support for further education and qualifications as some courses will require Maths and English GCSE (level 4 or grade C) or Functional skills (level two).
