A consultation on proposed changes to the guidance document 'Continuing Professional Development and your registration'. The new draft includes a number of changes to improve the style and content of the guidance, including: block text has been broken down and bullet points have been used, wherever possible; a flow diagram summarising the audit process has been added; the information on putting a CPD profile together has been abridged so it is clearer and focuses on the important key points; there is more clarity about the need in an audit to submit a dated list of activities to demonstrate that standard one has been met; reference is made to interactive activities which involve learning with others, and third party feedback, which can make a positive contribution to practice. Overall, the guidance is shorter than the existing version, with material removed that is duplicative, out-of-date, unnecessary, or better placed on the website or in the separate information for registrants selected for audit. The closing date for responses is Friday 13 January 2017. (Edited publisher abstract)

This report presents the findings of a consultation carried out by the Scottish Government on the National Framework for Child Protection Learning and Development in Scotland between 5th April and 5th July 2012. A new multi-agency ‘National Framework for Child Protection Learning and Development in Scotland’ has been developed, in order to enhance the skills of the workforce who have a role in keeping children safe and to ensure that they are equipped, through learning and development, to protect children and young people from the risk of harm. It provides a set of core skills and competences to help to identify the skills required by workers who are likely to have contact with children who require support and protection. The Framework is designed to support those who commission, develop, purchase and deliver education, training and learning for the multi-agency workforce involved with children and young people. This consultation was arranged to explore stakeholders’ views of this new Framework. There were 2 strands to the consultation process: a written consultation (which received a total of 52 written submissions); and 4 stakeholder events. This report presents the themes which emerged and the range and depth of views expressed.

A consultation document summarising the discussions and main recommendations from a roundtable to explore the workforce-related powers, freedoms and responsibilities that Integrated Care Systems (ICS) and sustainability and transformation partnership (STP) footprints are increasingly asking for. It contains recommendations for the devolution of a range of decision-making powers in the areas of: strategy and planning; supply and staff retention; deployment; and influencing the wider skills agenda. It also includes short case studies. The document concludes that Integrated Care Systems should be the default level for future workforce decision-making in health and care.

This consultation document describes and provides guidance on the National Training Framework on violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence. The purpose of the framework is to ensure that professionals are trained to provide an effective response to anyone affected by any form of gender-based violence, domestic abuse and sexual violence. The framework has been mapped against the possible journey a victim of such violence or abuse takes through public and specialist services. The purpose of this mapping is to work from the broadest needs assessment, ensuring that training is linked to early and crisis intervention, high risk behaviours and vulnerabilities and longer term support around trauma and complex needs. The consultation closes on 23 October 2015. (Edited publisher abstract)

This report summarises and interprets the findings of a consultation on the development of a learning and development programme to enable those working in adult social care in England to comply with the Care Act requirements from April 2015. The findings show that all the roles initially identified by Skills for Care, including management, social and care workers, community and employment support, registered nurses and personal assistants, are likely to be subject to new demands under the Care Act, and to consequently require some learning and development. In addition, the consultation identified further job roles, including additional care-providing roles, non-care-providing roles, people outside of the paid workforce, and people in other sectors outside, but related to, the adult social care sector, all of whom were felt to require learning and development as a result of the Care Act. Almost all the areas for learning and development initially identified by Skills for Care are confirmed as important, including: general responsibilities of local authorities, care and support standards, journey through the system, safeguarding adults, transition to adult services, and provider failure and market oversight. In addition, the consultation identified further areas for learning and development, including a need for staff to develop additional generic skills and additional specialist skills.

Government response to the feedback from their consultation on the delivery of National Assessment and Accreditation System (NAAS) for children and family social workers, focusing particularly on the roll out of the system. The NAAS sets a benchmark for assessing and accrediting child and family social workers across three levels of seniority: the child and family practitioner; the practice supervisor, and the practice leader. It can be used as a tool to identify the gaps in skills and knowledge within their workforce, and implement training programmes to address these. The document covers feedback on the phased roll out of the NAAS; what the assessment involve, preparation for NAAS and practice endorsement, how the system will work for frontline social workers, and the involvement of Social Work England - the new social work regulator. In addition, Annex A provides a summary of both the consultation responses and what Government is doing in response to this feedback. Annex B provides the responses to each question in the consultation. (Edited publisher abstract)
