“The residential setting is great.”
Sudio is studying a Health, Education and Social Studies qualification - level 2 certificate for the Children and Young People’s Workforce along with English and Maths.“I like learning new things, especially information about child development and psychological theories such as Freud,” Sudio said.
“I have enjoyed learning about how the brain can influence development and behaviour and how other external factors can influence behaviour.
“I would like to do a job that helps young people who live in residential care homes like Dickson House where I stayed.
