A draft education and training framework, commissioned by the Department of Health, which sets out the core skills and knowledge which the health and care workforce need to apply in order to deliver quality mental health services. It aims to describe common skills and knowledge that are transferable across different types of service provision. Specialist skills and knowledge are outside the scope of the framework. The framework will determine the minimum standard for mental health education and training and help to measuring if education and training satisfies these standards. The core skills and knowledge are defined at 3 levels: Level 1: knowledge for roles that require general mental health awareness; Level 2: knowledge and skills for roles that will have some regular contact with people with mental health issues; and Level 3: knowledge and skills for those working with/caring for people with mental health needs. The framework includes expected learning outcomes, and will be aligned to relevant quality and regulatory standards. It will be applicable to health and care employers and also educational organisations which train students who will be employed in the health and car workforce. The framework is being developed in parallel with a similar framework for learning disabilities. (Edited publisher abstract)
