Assessment and entry considerations
Assessment: Observed role-specific tasks in an authorised workplace or approved simulation, knowledge checks and review of an advocacy support case portfolio. Actual workplace evidence is required where the eventual award or role specifies it.
Entry and recognition: Relevant work experience or an entry assessment demonstrating readiness; access to role-specific workplace cases and any required local permissions.
Practice boundaries: Required safeguarding checks, consent, supervision and service permissions must be confirmed before placement. The programme does not confer a protected social work, counselling or clinical licence.
Credential status: Proposed BEMCON programme only. No registered award, framework level, credit value or external certification is assigned.
Duration basis: Original curriculum-planning estimate, not an official prescribed qualification duration. The approved qualification specification, entry assessment and mandatory placement requirements take precedence.
