Neighbourhood & community skills
'Neighbourhood workforce planning' and 'community skills development' are models that can empower local people to understand how the skills they have can be enhanced and shared to ensure that those who need care and support in their neighbourhood can continue to be active and empowered local citizens.
Skills for Care is working with employers to develop evidence-based practice to influence and support workforce re-modelling that challenges and supports the workforce into working differently.
