Modernising the Social Care Workforce – the first national training strategy for England was approved by the Topss England board in April 2000 following public consultation and subsequently received ministerial endorsement. There are three levels of documentation available: the overall training strategy document; the Supplementary Reports to the strategy – one for each workforce area covered, giving detail of the research underlying the strategy; and individual Summaries of those reports. The specialist areas consulted on in 1999 were: Residential Care; Child Care; Registration and Inspection; Learning Disability; Youth Custody; Domiciliary Care; Mental Health; Drugs and Substance Misuse; Management Development; Partnership Working. Modernising the Social Care Workforce – the first national training strategy for England is the first comprehensive national training strategy to analyse the skill needs of people working in the social care sector in England and to propose an action plan to improve both the qualification base and the quality of training over the coming five years. It is a response to both the Modernising Social Services White Paper (DH, 1998) and to the restructuring of further education (DfEE, 1999) and higher education (Dearing Report) arrangements.
