  30. Apprenticeships: Professionalising the Social Care Sector.

  31. Types of Apprenticeships Young Apprenticeships 14-16 based in school, following the Core Curriculum, delivered through partnerships Apprenticeships at Level 2 (Work based) Advanced Apprenticeships at Level 3 (Work based)

  32. Apprenticeship Aspirations & Figures Apprenticeships are to be a mainstream education option for 16-18 years olds 1 in 5 young people to undertake an Apprenticeship within the next decade (currently 1 in 15) Apprenticeships are to be an opportunity for adults making a step change in their career H&SC framework completions have risen from 22% to almost 60% in 4 years The difference between achieving the full HSC Apprenticeship and the NVQ only is 6% and 8% for Advanced Apprenticeships

  33. Who can be an Apprentice? Open to all ages (Training Subsidy/Grant from the LSC is subject to availability) New recruits to the sector Existing staff as part of ongoing development and CPD Non Social Care staff can also participate on an apprenticeship programme

  34. Why Apprenticeships 76% say that apprenticeships provide higher overall productivity; 80% feel that apprenticeships reduce staff turnover; 77% of employers believe apprenticeships make them more competitive; 83% of employers rely on their apprenticeships programme to provide the skilled workers that they need for the future; Source -National Apprenticeship Service Website

  35. More business benefits 88% believe that apprenticeships lead to a more motivated and satisfied workforce; In terms of the return on investment linked to apprenticeships, 41% say that their apprentices make a valuable contribution to the business during their training period, while a further third (33%) report that apprentices add value within their first few weeks (or even from Day One); 57% report a high proportion of their apprentices going on to management positions within the company; Over three-quarters of respondents expect apprenticeships to play a bigger part in their recruitment policy in the future. Source -National Apprenticeship Service Website

  36. Skills for Care Vision Social care employers see Apprenticeships as the first choice for professionalising the sector’s workforce, complimenting ‘Working to Put People First: The strategy for Adult Social Care Workforce in England’

  42. Removing Barriers 16-18 Personal Care The Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) and the Department of Health have worked closely to develop a more flexible approach, allowing 16-18 year olds to provide personal care as long as they are suitably trained/competent and are appropriately supervised. The new guidelines also make it clear that care homes must fulfil appropriate regulations and the person who receives the care must have their choices respected as far as possible regarding who performs the task for them. “This flexible approach to the regulation means that the dignity and safety of people who use services is balanced against the aspirations of young social care workers to play a full role in their establishments. “It removes unnecessary barriers to recruiting and retaining young staff when the recruitment and retention of staff is a massive challenge for our sector especially as we estimate we will need at least 2 million care staff by 2025. “It will also help employers recruit young workers into our sector and help retain them, as they will now be able to carry out the full range of duties based on their competence not just their date of birth.”
