It includes guidance for trainers, activities and timings, and suggests learning materials and resources. The manual has been developed to support the Level 3 introductory City and Guilds Award, but can also be used to delivery non-accredited learning programmes. The contents are split into eleven units, which include: communication and relationships; working with carers, families and significant others; supporting participation; supporting older people with dementia; supporting older people with depression and anxiety; and assessment, care, support planning and risk management.
