Evaluation of the SIRCC HNC in Social Care

This evaluation of SIRCC's HNC in Social Care was undertaken in order to explore to what extent graduates are able to transfer new learning into practice in the workplace.

The results are varied. It is encouraging that the majority of respondents reported that they had enjoyed their experience on the HNC and had developed a deeper understanding of their task.

Of some concern, however, is the fact that over 50% of those who responded reported that they encountered obstacles in the workplace when attempting to apply their learning in practice.

The report should be of value to 1) students interested in undertaking the HNC, and 2) supervisors and managers who are supporting their workers on the HNC, in order to read about best ways to ensure maximum transfer of knowledge to the workplace.
