|Assignment title |The Adult Social Care Sector |

|The purpose of this assignment is to: |

| |

|Assess learners’ awareness of the adult social care sector, their understanding of definitions of adult social care, the different forms it may take, the |

|contribution of informal care to the sector and the different roles and careers available within the sector. |

|Scenario |

| |

|You are working with your work experience manager and careers advisor to provide information about the adult social care sector. |

|Task 1 |

| |

|Your work experience manager has asked you to produce a poster which clearly defines adult social care. The poster will be copied and sent to schools and |

|colleges to be used at careers events. |

|Task 2 |

| |

|Your manager is really pleased with your work and has asked for your help with another project. You are to produce a booklet which outlines the different types |

|of adult social care support which may be found in the UK and their purpose. For each of the types you outline, the manager would also like you to add an |

|example of the type of individual who would access each one. Your booklet will be sent to learners in schools and colleges who have shown interest in a career |

|in adult social care. |

|Task 3 |

| |

|The manager has been approached by the editor of a local newspaper who wants to run a series of articles on adult social care. The editor has asked your |

|manager if any of her staff would be prepared to write a short article outlining the contribution of informal care, to the work of the setting. Your manager has|

|asked you to do this. |

|Task 4 |

| |

|Your local careers advisor has asked if your class group could provide some materials to brighten up the walls of the advice centre. You have decided to |

|produce a poster which identifies at least ten different job roles which are available in adult social care. |

|Task 5 |

| |

|To accompany your poster, the careers advisor has requested that you also provide an information pack which outlines at least three ways to develop a role or |

|career in adult social care. You should include details of the qualifications needed and how to obtain these. |

|Task 6 |

| |

|Your friend has heard that working in adult social care is interesting but does not really know anything about it. Write an email to your friend giving her an |

|outline of the different adult social care support settings which are available. |
