The content of the BIIAB Level 3 Diploma for Residential Childcare has been specified by the sector skills council Skills for Care, in consultation with employers, learning providers and those who use services in the Residential Childcare sector.

This qualification constitutes part of the children’s homes regulations which came into force in April 2015. This qualification will develop and assess the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to effectively work with children and young people in a residential childcare establishment.

The qualification has core shared knowledge and skills that support the vision of the government and employers providing integrated services and the portability of skills and knowledge across the residential childcare workforce.

As such, the content of the qualification is applicable to a variety of roles, for example:

  • Residential Childcare Worker
  • Support Worker
  • Residential Childcare Officer
  • Childcare Practitioner.

It is designed specifically for those working in Residential Childcare, and while many of the skills, knowledge and behaviours are transferable, those working in, or planning to work in, non-residential childcare settings should select the most appropriate of one of the following qualifications:

  • BIIAB Level 2 Certificate for Children and Young People’s Workforce (England) 601/7784/6
  • BIIAB Level 2 Diploma for the Early Years Practitioner 603/5227/9
  • BIIAB Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People’s Workforce (England) 601/7785/8
  • BIIAB Level 3 Diploma in Children’s Learning and Development (Early Years Educator) 601/7786/X

This qualification has been designed to allow learners to obtain and then demonstrate the knowledge and skills required to work effectively and flexibly within the Residential Childcare sector at Level 3. The primary purpose of the qualification is to confirm occupational competence.

The Level 3 Diploma for Residential Childcare can be studied as a standalone qualification but it also meets the mandatory component requirement of the Children, Young People and Families Practitioner End-point Assessment.
