The eight course modules will include:

  • Deafblindness and Care Act assessments including the Level 3 specialist deafblind assessor qualification
  • Market-shaping duties
  • Working with LSPs, congenital syndromes and the toolkit concept
  • Deafblind children assessment
  • Advocacy
  • Safeguarding
  • Legislation
  • Individual complex case study assignment.

Learning outcomes

Participants will:

  • Be able to offer assurance to their named director-level manager of legislative compliance
  • Lead/manage a specialist deafblind assessor team
  • Gain all the necessary insights into the impacts deafblindness has on individuals
  • Understand how key legislation impacts on deafblind adults and children
  • Gather evidence for analysis and make defensible decisions
  • Ensure appropriate level of care and support
  • Protect deafblind people’s human rights.

Who should attend?

The course is aimed at both adults’ and children’s social work and allied care professionals.

Duration

The course is delivered in a very flexible way in agreement with each participant, in bite-sized segments without the need to cram or produce copious amounts of work.

The start date for the next cohort is 15 May, and the duration is based on timings agreed with individual participants for each of the sections except module eight, which is ‘launched’ at the end of module seven when you have as much time as needed to complete and submit the assessment.
