Hi Sheila, can you list all training which is required to become an care assistant?
Dear A,
Thank you for your question.
These questions are never straightforward but I recommend that you refer to the Ongoing Learning and Development in Adult Social Care publication which was written by Skills for Care including:
- How effective learning and development can lead to a knowledgeable and skilled workforce
- A list of the recommended minimum learning and development areas in which adult care workers should be competent
- When and how learning should be refreshed
- Statutory requirements regarding worker training and competence
- How to support both care and non-care workers’ learning and development.
I think you will find this publication extremely helpful.
Best wishes.
Sheila
