Publications Young People Intro

Practitioners handbook for the Diploma in Public Services is available in PDF format by LSIS and 14-19 Workforce Support.

Due to the overlap of sectors between the Diploma in Public Services and the Diploma in Society, Health and Development, we have produced the following guide to help highlight the differences between each.

A series of line of learning cards designed to give an overview of the breadth of the Diploma have been produced for each of the Diploma lines. These cards have been popular with practioners and are available to download as PDF's from the Diploma Support| website. Click on the link and scroll down to 'Public Services'.
