Description

About this Course

Choosing to study our Understanding Substance Misuse RQF qualification can provide you with a level of understanding and comprehension that is easily transferrable into personal, voluntary and professional settings.

This learning programme is particularly beneficial to those working directly/regularly with individuals dealing with alcohol and drug misuse problems; as it is mapped to the Drugs and Alcohol National Occupational Standards – as well as the NHS Knowledge and Skills Framework – and can easily support you on your journey to achieving your DANOS competences.

From recognising indications of substance misuse (and how to refer individuals to specialists), to being able to assess and act upon immediate risks of danger; by the end of this course you will be able to raise awareness about substances, their use and their effects, and will also be able to use this information to protect those in your care.

Similarly, the information taught on this course can instantly improve your care techniques and methods – especially when dealing with young and vulnerable people – as you’ll be more in tune with their emotional responses, reactions and needs.

You will even be able to carry out assessments to identify and prioritise needs, ensuring a better quality of life for all.
