NCFE Level 1 Award in Residential Child & Family Support
£99.00
Description
This NCFE-accredited Level 1 Award is a foundational qualification designed for individuals beginning their journey in the social care sector, with a particular focus on supporting families in Residential Family Centres (RFCs).
Unlike the generic Skills for Care: Care Certificate, which does not account for the specific demands of residential family work, this course offers a tailored alternative that reflects the unique responsibilities and dynamics of the RFC environment. It was developed in partnership with Amber Family Ltd, ensuring content is grounded in current, real-world practice.
Learners will build core knowledge and practical understanding across key areas such as:
- Safeguarding and child protection
- Effective communication and teamwork
- Health and safety in family settings
- The structure and purpose of RFCs
- The importance of respectful, rights-based work with families
This qualification is ideal for anyone new to care work or considering a role in residential child and family services. It also serves as a clear progression route to the NCFE Level 3 Certificate in Residential Child & Family Support.
Pricing and progression offer
The NCFE Level 1 Award in Residential Family Centre Support is priced at £99.00, with no VAT to pay.
We are pleased to offer a progression discount to learners who go on to enroll in the NCFE Level 3 Certificate in Residential Child & Family Support.
If you complete this Level 1 Award first, the Level 3 course fee will be reduced from £649 to £550 – saving you £99 – a discount does not apply and cannot be offered if you complete the NCFE Level 3, first.
This offer supports learners who wish to build their skills and confidence gradually, while keeping long-term training costs affordable.
