Purpose and products To ensure the care and support workforce has
the skills and knowledge to deliver the changes: An agreed framework (matrix) of learning and
development needs Alignment of existing principles, standards and
qualifications frameworks A comprehensive and quality assured learning and
development programme, including a suite of free learning resources
Resources and ‘train the trainer’ style opportunities for learning providers/trainers
Approach
Make use of existing, fit for purpose, learning and development resources
Ensure any new resources are informed by best practice
Engage widely and work in partnership with key stakeholders
Ensure a high quality, consistent learning and development programme
Learning and development needs matrix
The purpose of the matrix is to identify what learning and development content should be developed and identifies:
The target workforce Areas for learning and development Level of new skills and knowledge needed
for each job role
Questions for current consultation
Has the target workforce been correctly and fully identified?
Have the areas for learning and development associated with the changes required by the Care Bill been correctly and fully identified?
Is the learning and development needs framework accurate and helpful?
Is anything significant missing? To take part go to:
Capacity planning Development of workforce capacity planning tools
and resources including an online resource Enabling local authorities and social care employers
to assess the capacity of their workforces to deliver new ways of working arising from the care and support reforms
Complimenting products such as the workforce commissioning resources, the workforce outcome measurement model and the community skills programme
