I can't recommend this course enough, especially if you're working in the social care sector. The course content was comprehensive, up-to-date, and relevant to my day-to-day role. I gained practical knowledge in areas like understanding and applying social care law, safeguarding, and best practices for working with vulnerable individuals. The materials were engaging, and the assessments really helped me consolidate my learning. Stanmore School of Business has been a fantastic learning partner, and I'm looking forward to exploring more courses with them in the future.

This course was really valuable for me as someone new to the social care field. It provided a solid foundation in social care law and practice that I can build on as I grow in my career. I particularly appreciated the real-world examples and case studies that helped me grasp complex concepts. The course materials were high-quality and easy to follow. I only wish there had been more opportunities for hands-on practice or group work. Overall, I'm glad I took the course and feel better prepared for my role in social care.
