Safeguarding of vulnerable adults has become a topical issue since the coming to light of abuses at Winterbourne View care home and the failures in care at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust. This briefing discusses education and training for the health and social care workforce, the values and attitudes of the workforce, embedding safeguarding across the workforce, and integrated health and social care.

The Department of Health commissioned the Centre for Workforce Intelligence to identify the fundamental challenges facing policymakers across health, social care and public health, and their workforce implications. This document describes the 'big picture challenges' identified using an approach incorporating horizon scanning and engagement with internal and external experts. It outlines 4 categories of challenges (demographic and social, health and social care system design, quality and productivity, and financial and economic) and the individual challenges within each category. It links the challenges to the 5 high-level domains of the Education Outcomes Framework (excellent education, competent and capable staff, flexible workforce receptive to research and innovation, NHS values and behaviours, and widening participation), and considers the implications the big picture challenges could have on each domain.

The Department of Health (DH) commissioned the Centre for Workforce Intelligence to identify the big picture challenges facing health, social care and public health, and to draw out their workforce implications, as part of CfWI's horizon scanning programme. This context report describes the big picture challenges, and identifies eleven key challenges and why they are challenges. These key challenges fit into four categories. The first, demographic and social comprises three challenges: planning to meet the needs of an ageing population with an ageing workforce; managing changing demand resulting from an increasing prevalence of complex long-term conditions and co-morbidities; and managing changing public expectations about the care they receive. Second, health and social care system design, where the three challenges are: achieving better integration between health, social care and support organisations; shifting the focus of the system towards prevention and well-being; and delivering the personalisation agenda and providing person-centred care within financial constraints. The thrid, quality and productivity considers these three challenges: ensuring the system delivers high-quality services within financial constraints; developing effective measures for quality of care and productivity and ensuring high-quality data is collected; and preparing for changes resulting from innovation and technology. Fourth and last, finance and economic, is concerned with, first, planning service delivery given the uncertainty about levels of funding in the future and how this will affect future demand for and supply of care services; and second, uncertainty about how investment in life science, health and care will support the UK economy. Ten supporting briefing papers identify the implications these challenges pose, and where more work is needed to inform workforce planning. They cover: How can we recruit and retain sufficient domiciliary care workers to meet future demand? How can the workforce be used to address the challenges facing emergency departments? What role will informal carers have in meeting future demand? How can band 1-4 staff be utilised to improve workforce productivity and meet demand? What does 24/7 working mean for the workforce? How can we promote diffusion and adoption of technology and innovation across the workforce? What leaders will we need to address the big picture challenges? How do we achieve effective safeguarding across health and social care? How could the community workforce alleviate some of the pressure on general practitioners and improve joint working across primary and community care? and What does a flexible workforce look like?
