Explain the skills and personal attributes (qualities) necessary for a range of people (including professionals) who care and support individuals with different needs – you may wish to reflect back on Activity 1.

‘Explain’ means to give an account of the purposes or reasons: ‘What, how, why…this is important because’.

Note: Identify the sources of information you have used i.e, books, journals, reliable and relevant internet sites.


The tutors were really supportive and it was all thanks to them that I have achieved what I have. I’ve also made loads of great friends and really enjoyed my time at the college.

The teaching and support was really great, the quality was really great, all the teachers really care about your education as well as your wellbeing, they take everything into consideration and they’re great.
