With only a year to go, young people will soon be able to choose the new Society, Health and Development Diploma (SHD) as part of their options in schools and colleges. SHD will be launched in a small number of sites across England in 2008 and will be rolled out incrementally to become part of the national entitlement in 2013.
The new Diploma is one of the most innovative developments to take place in the education of 14-19 year olds for nearly forty years. SHD will open a window to young people on careers in adult social care, community justice, health and the children's and young people's workforce. Today a new website and banner launch to support the pilot stage of the new qualification www.skillsforhealth.org.uk/diploma
