IntroductionThis Prospectus outlines the health and social care training programmes available to those working in the social care sector, including those in the Independent, Private and Voluntary sector in the city. The learning and development opportunities in this Prospectus are provided by The Adult Social Care Training Team at Brockwood Park, the Workforce Development Unit for Communities Service in the Council, and by the Care Homes Support Team. In addition to taught courses we provide a number of e-learning programmes. Have a look later in the Prospectus for the programmes we run and how you can access them.

It is essential that we have a highly trained, competent workforce providing high quality services to the citizen’s of Sheffield. If we are to develop an effective reablement services and provide personalised care then the skills of the workforce need to be at the highest level possible.

We access services at times when we are experiencing great changes including poor health or family upheaval and at such times we can be at our most vulnerable. The Government wants local authorities to have high quality services available that people can trust that are person centred so they can deliver the specific requirements of any individual coming forward for a service. This applies whether the service is being delivered by a personal assistant employed by a service user, by domiciliary/home support workers, supported living workers, or by staff in the more traditional setting of a nursing home. This is the challenge facing the workforce today and the organisations that employ them.

Having a highly skilled and motivated workforce is one way of ensuring that we can deliver services of quality. We need staff who are skilled, good listeners, good communicators, respectful, flexible, active in safeguarding dignity and rights, empowering people and able to offer choices that allow service users to make decisions for themselves about their own lives. Alongside this they need to have a range of good practical skills so they know how to safely employ moving and handling techniques, know how to safely prepare and handle food and dispense medication.

We are actively working in partnership with the other local authorities in South Yorkshire and a range of private sector providers to secure funding from Skills for Care to support organisations to deliver units of qualification for the workforce. The Social Care Development Partnership (South Yorkshire) will in all likelihood continue to receive funding for the next three years. I would encourage all organisations to complete their NMDS entries and to become members of the partnership so that they can secure funding that will support their workers to achieve units from the

4

qualification credit framework (QCF). This will mean that we can accredit their learning on dementia, end of life care or work with people who have a learning disability.

This prospectus details what is offered to support the sector and the basis on which this support for workforce development can be accessed. There are programmes available that are required to meet CQC standards and there are some training programmes that are about building skills in the sector over and above the base line skills required by CQC. Our intention is that the programmes and accreditation on offer supports your organisation and your workers to deliver the quality services the people of Sheffield require.

All training provides underpinning knowledge for QCF Diplomas at Levels 2 - 5, or the standards laid down by other statutory bodies including Highfield Awarding Body for Compliance (HABC). Our courses provide training to the national minimum standards as set out by the Care Standards Act 2000.

The Workforce Development Unit holds Recognised Provider status accredited by the National Skills Academy for its training delivery. The unit has Customer Service Excellence Standards accreditation and regularly undertakes audits with its customers to ensure its development programmes meet customer requirements and that all processes related to this are delivered in a timely and appropriate manner.

Charges for Non-attended and Cancelled Training Places

There will be a charge levied for all training places either cancelled or not attended on social care training.

In 2012/13 an average of 18% of all training places were wasted due to cancellations that could not be filled, or because of non-attendance on the day. The demand for places on training programmes and the cost to the Local Authority in providing training means that every place that is booked needs to be a place used.

All training in our IPV Training Prospectus for 2013/14 will continue to be provided free of charge unless stated otherwise. Charges will only apply if places are booked and subsequently not used either through cancellation or non-attendance on the day. Please refer to the Policy for details. Please note there will be no charge if you substitute another person to fill the place at the point of cancellation. Cancellations and non-attendance will be charged to your organisation (see Policy for details).

The Policy also covers the circumstances in which charges will not apply (see full policy over page).

11

Training Cancellation and Non-Attendance Charging Policy 2013/14

Aim of the PolicyThe aim of this policy is to provide managers with clear information on the charges that will be made for the cancellation of training places and for the non-attendance of booked participants.

Please note this policy applies to all Sheffield City Council Workforce Development Unit programmes and all Care Homes Support Team citywide courses

Reason for PolicyThe demand for places on training programmes and the cost to the Local Authority in providing training means that every place booked needs to be a place used. For services and organisations where there is a funded training Service Level Agreement in place, training places booked (i.e. purchased) will continue to be supplied free on the understanding that the place will be used.

BookingWhen booking training an expenditure code must be provided (applicable to all internal Council Services), and invoicing details provided by non-Council organisations. Arrangements for Service User Employers will be through the Direct Payment Office. These will be used to claim any charges incurred. Charges will be claimed on a monthly basis. A monthly non-attendance report will be provided to managers/employers, and to Training Commissioning Groups.

CancellationsCancellation charges will apply for all places cancelled regardless of length of cancellation notice given. They will apply up to the day of the training. The charge for cancellation will be £50 per day, for each training day cancelled. The cancellation charge for ½ days training programmes will be £25 per ½ day.

There will be no charge if you substitute another person to fill the place at the point of cancellation.

Cancellation charges will apply to all Council services and all external organisations. Cancellation charges will not apply to Service Users who directly employ their own workers.

12

Non-attendanceNon-attendance on the day (did not attend and did not cancel) will be charged at a rate of £80 per day, for each day of non-attendance. The charge for ½ day programmes will be £40 per day. These non-attendance charges will apply to all Council services and all external organisations

Service Users who directly employ their own workers will be charged a flat rate of £10 per day for non-attendance (rate applies to both full days and ½ days).

Circumstances when Charges will not apply

Charges for cancellations or non-attendance will not apply only if: There is a personal or family emergency Compassionate leave has been given Staff have called in sick using absence reporting policies and

procedures The person has left the Organisation

Manager/employer confirmation of the above is required at point of cancellation or on the day of non-attendance otherwise charges will be incurred.

Arriving Late on the Day of Training

Please be aware if participants arrive late for training we cannot guarantee they will be able to join the course after it has started. If this is the case participants will be classed as not attending and subject to a non-attendance charge.

Courses cancelled by Brockwood Park and the Care Home Support Team

If a training course is cancelled by Brockwood Park or the Care Home Support Team due to unforeseen circumstances, places will be offered on future dates. Where this is not possible, full monies will be refunded for those non-contracted organisations that pay for places.

Competency Mapping

47

Competency Mapping

This is an alternative to taught courses and is another route for demonstrating staff skills and knowledge. The process is a way of evidencing that we have a skilled workforce and written records of competence. This enables large numbers of staff to gain recognition of competence and allows completion of national training standards.

If staff can demonstrate knowledge then they can access the competency mapping route, this is also suitable as a refresher for Health, Safety and Fire, Food Safety and Safeguarding Adults, all of which have a mandatory refresher period. The workbook should be completed within 6 months, assessed and signed off by the manager and returned to Brockwood for standardisation, following standardisation certificates will be issued.

To access this route please contact [email protected] who will discuss the options with you.

The workbooks available are:Equality and DiversityWorker SafetyEffective CommunicationSafeguarding AdultsPersonal CareHealth, Safety and Fire Food SafetyEating and Drinking

The Learning Outcomes for these workbooks are the same as the taught modules.

The Competency Mapping Standardisation Dates for 2013/14 are as follows:
