Project offered the opportunity to:
- Identify competences for support worker role – giving greater clarity
- Review current training provision and, if required, develop flexible training and education relevant to the role
- Develop structured career progression routes for support workers
Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides an excellent example of how the QCF (Qualification Credit Framework) which is replacing the existing NVQ structure, to support vocational education for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, can support employers to create flexible, fit for purpose training packages. They have developed an accredited training package that is placed on the QCF and that specifically meets their workforce needs.
Dynamic Training UK has been supporting the development of the teaching resources to support the 0 – 6 months introductory awards. Progress South Central Life Long Learning Network has supported this development.
