is is an OFQUAL approved Level 5 leadership course specifically for those leading and managing those working with children, individuals & families?

No. This qualification is specifically designed for adult social care, not children’s services. The Care Manager Diploma – Fast Track Level 5 Health and Social Care Management (8 Care Management (8 Months) prepares you to become a registered manager in adult care homes or domiciliary services regulated by the CQC in England, or equivalent bodies in Scotland and Wales. It focuses on adult safeguarding, dementia care, and supporting older people or adults with disabilities. While the Level 5 management principles are transferable, this course does not cover the specific statutory frameworks, such as the Children Act, required for leading teams working with children and families. For those roles, you need a qualification specifically aligned with children’s social care standards.
