The content of the Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care has been specified by the sector skills council responsible for the adult care workforce, Skills for Care, in consultation with employers, learning providers and those who use services.

Managers in adult social care hold a pivotal position in ensuring that services can respond fully to the needs and aspirations of those who use their provision. Managers must ensure that their service can rise to the challenge of delivering person-centred support in the context of increasing demand, through strong leadership, a robust values base, commitment to partnership working, willingness to innovate and shrewd business acumen.

The content is applicable both to Registered Managers and more widely to all those who manage adult care services such as Assistant Managers, Deputy Managers, Unit Managers or Service Managers.

The primary purpose of the qualification is to confirm occupational competence. The qualification is a mandatory component in the Leader in Adult Care Apprenticeship. As such, this qualification has value either as a stand-alone qualification or as part of an apprenticeship.
