Course overview

Social care supports individuals, families, and communities who may need assistance because of age, disability, vulnerability, social disadvantage, or changing life circumstances. Inconsistent services, weak safeguarding, limited inclusion, and poor understanding of legal or ethical duties can reduce care quality and place individuals at risk.

The Social Care course covers the foundations and governance of Canadian social care, legal and ethical responsibilities, safeguarding, quality of care, ageing, disability, community inclusion, support for children and families, social protection, workforce responsibilities, and future developments.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to understand social care systems, recognize safeguarding concerns, support inclusion, apply ethical principles, and contribute to safe, accountable, and person-centred services. Certification is provided upon successful completion of the course.
