Skills for Care and Skills for Health have produced Carers Matter - Everybody's Business (CMEB), guidance to help employers and organisations support carers better through learning and development of staff.

This is the second of three parts, and is is aimed at those who are directly responsible for commissioning or delivering learning and development. It provides fuller guidance on how to identify learning and development of staff in relation to meeting carers' needs. It offers a framework that will enable a workforce to learn at the right level to provide effective services and support to carers. Contents include:six steps to developing staff in relation to carers; developing the right level of staff development; the three levels of development (carer awareness, enhanced carer awareness and specialist); selecting the right learning and development materials; adapting the materials to the local scene; involving carers in developing staff; and knowing if learning and development has made a difference. Carers Matter - Everybody's Business is not an 'off the shelf' training package, rather the tools that enable training to be commissioned or developed to reflect local workforce needs, local settings and context. It aims to be flexible enough to be delivered in a variety of ways to meet differing working and learning needs. (Edited publisher abstract)
