Prices from £925 + VAT per Candidate*

Available from 5th January 2015 the QCF Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management in Residential Childcare will become mandatory for all Registered Managers of Children's Homes in April 2015

This Qualification replaces the QCF Level 5 Diploma for Leadership and Management for Health and Social and Children and Young Peoples Service - Children and Young People Residential Management Pathway (for Children's Homes Managers only)

Managers who have already started the QCF Level 5 Diploma for Leadership and Management for Health and Social and Children and Young Peoples Services - Children and Young People Residential Management Care Pathway prior to 5th January 2015 can continue with their award as normal and this will be counted as equivalent to the new Residential Childcare Qualification.

All Managers who have not begun the Residential Management of the QCF Level 5 Diploma for Leadership and Management for Health and Social and Children and Young Peoples Services - should be registered for the new QCF Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management in Residential Childcare.

New Department of Education regulations naming the QCF Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management in Residential Childcare will come into force in April 2015. These regulations will be named The Children‟s Homes (England) Regulations 2015.

These new regulations will also state that all Managers must complete the new QCF Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management in Residential Childcare within 3 years of commencing their role.

Those new to the role may not need to complete the new qualification if they hold what is deemed to be equivalent. The QCF Level 5 Diploma for Leadership and Management for Health and Social and Children and Young Peoples Service - Children and Young People Residential Management Pathway is deemed equivalent. For information on any other qualifications which are equivalent - please contact the Department of Education direct.

Management staff in Residential Schools which are not registered as Children's Homes can continue with the QCF Level 5 Diploma for Leadership and Management for Health and Social and Children and Young Peoples Service - Children and Young People Residential Management or Management Pathway.

The Advanced Practice pathway is also still available for senior members of staff who are working at Level 5 but are not necessarily Managers but have a great deal of autonomy within their role.
