What are we trying to achieve? Person centred care People with complex needs and their carers have better quality of life and can achieve the outcomes that are important to them and their families through greater involvement in their care, and being able to design support around their needs and circumstances. Prevention of crises in people’s lives that lead to unplanned hospital and institutional care by keeping them well and supporting self-management as measured by tools such as ‘patient activation’ – so ensuring better value for money. Better integration and quality of care, including better user and family experience of care.

The Care Certificate is: Start of a journey A key component of the total induction A step to meeting the fundamental standards set out by Care Quality Commission (Regulation 18/19) An opportunity to get extra benefit from the Social Care Commitment, by using the ‘employee tasks’ to help your staff achieve the Care Certificate Follow the conversation using #Care.

Shaping the quals market Skills for Care’s approach… • Discussed with Partner Awarding Organisations (AOs) and a qualification ‘specification’ approach has been agreed to facilitate maintaining consistency of qualifications for sector • Request made to all 30 AOs to extend current quals to Dec 2017 and not make changes unless / until agreed • Sf. C piloting the use of ‘specifications’ for new quals in development (end 2015 / early 2016) • Prioritise most important quals and aim to develop ‘specifications’ for these during 2016/2017 (quals to follow 2017 >)

Shaping the quals market A partnership approach… • Partner AOs have welcomed ‘specification’ approach • Several non-partner AOs have indicated support too • ‘No appetite for immediate change’ as main Diplomas are successful (ie financially for AOs) • Existing qualifications to continue to end Dec 2017 • Broad support from Sf. CD UK partners and Skills for Health for Sf. C approach

Qualifications in design Due to ‘go live’ Autumn 2016 – Spring 2017 The following qualifications ‘specifications’ have been developed : • L 4 Certificate in Principles of Leadership and Management in Adult Care (October 2016) • L 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management in Adult Care (January 2017) • L 5 Fundamental Knowledge in Commissioning for Wellbeing (October 2016)

Considerations for Sf. C Further work to be done… • Work with Skills for Health to ensure qualifications support workforce for future integrated services • Develop the system for administration of Workforce Development Funding (WDF) / recording of qualifications within NMDS-SC • Consider apprenticeships and the required qualifications within each apprenticeship

Qualifications Future frameworks and qualification developments • Social Care Capabilities Framework • End of Life Care Core Skills Education and Training Framework • Additional ‘specifications’ developed for L 2, L 3, L 4 Diploma plus Preparing to Work in Adult Social Care, aligned to Capabilities Framework (using same language and build on knowledge and skills at each level)

Apprenticeships There are changes coming here too. . . • Trailblazer groups – develop ‘standards’ for certain roles in specific sectors • Social care employers trailblazer group has produced Standards at 4 levels & each has an assessment plan • Each Standard contains a requirement to achieve Care Certificate, the Diploma at relevant level, plus Maths and English • Independent End Assessment with an overall ‘grade’

Apprenticeships Timescales … • • • Assessment strategy sign off for each level External quality assurance of end-point test sign off Independent end-point assessors to be registered AOs prepare for and offer the 4 ‘standards’ Assessment Centres gain validation and prepare to deliver ‘standards’ • Existing frameworks turned off to new registrations • Learners start to register on new ‘standards’

Apprenticeships… Funding proposals for all 4 levels in social care… • Co-investment - one tenth paid in cash from employer, nine tenths from Skills Funding Agency • Incentives for small employers (less than 50 FTE employees), for 16 – 18 year olds, and on completion of ‘standard’ • Targets for public sector employers (with more than 250 employees) – 2. 3% of staff to be apprentices • A 0. 5% ‘levy’ taken at source by HMRC for large employers with a payroll of more than £ 3 million

Levy example An employer with pay bill of £ 2, 000 Levy sum – 0. 5% of 2, 000 = £ 10, 000 No levy to pay (is less than £ 15, 000 employer allowance) An employer with pay bill of £ 5, 000 Levy sum – 0. 5% of £ 5, 000 = £ 25, 000 £ 10, 000 to pay (difference from £ 15, 000 allowance)
