Assessment and entry considerations

Assessment: Observed role-specific tasks in an authorised workplace or approved simulation, knowledge checks and review of an autism-informed support plan. 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.
