The Cheltenham Partnership

The Diploma in Public Services will start from September 2010, in schools and colleges in different areas of the country.

Here’s a sneak preview of what you’ll learn...

For the Diploma in Public Services your course will look at 5 main areas:

1. Finding out about public services: Explore the whole spectrum of public services in the UK, including armed forces, education, law and order, health, plus local and central government.
2. Local communities: Look at local public services, and how they differ from nationally delivered public services.
3. Health and wellbeing in communities: See how public services assess, support and promote wellbeing for individuals and communities.
4. Protecting communities: Learn why people and communities need safety and protection, and how it’s provided.
5. Skills to work in public services: Discover the range of careers in public services, and the skills you need to work in them.

If you’re doing a Higher or Advanced Diploma, you will cover more areas including paying for, promoting and influencing public services, plus legislation, people management, collaborative working, funding and many more.
