Locally
We're supporting local TCPs. This means that we'll:
- contribute to locally driven transforming care activity, sharing our offer and key resources
- use our expertise and understanding of the adult social care workforce to review and shape local priorities and input into guidance and plans
- support sites in engaging with social care providers across the local and neighbouring area
- use our networks to promote the work of the transforming care programme.
- develop a suite of case studies to be shared across transforming care sites in order to share best practice.
Regionally
We're working with regional delivery groups to share our resources and shape local priorities with a particular focus on:
- making best use of workforce intelligence
- understanding our workforce capacity planning tool
- using the principles of workforce integration and workforce redesign.
Nationally
At a national level we'll share our expertise and knowledge of the adult social care workforce by contributing to the development of national guidance and tools as part of the workforce delivery programme.
Additional activity
Skills for Care may be able to deliver additional activity reflecting local priorities with and on behalf of local TCPs. For more information please speak with your local Skills for Care team.

Webinars
How values based recruitment can develop services for people with a learning disability and/or autistic people who are at risk of displaying behaviour which challenges (23 March 2017)
In this webinar we explored how values based recruitment can help employers to recruit staff with the right values and attitudes to achieve the transforming care programme outcomes. The webinar gives an overview of the approach and include examples of positive recruitment in a learning disability service.
The webinar is for commissioners and providers of services and training and development to learn from good practice and discuss potential activity for their local areas.
How commissioners and providers can work together to develop the local workforce to transform care (18 January 2017)
In this webinar a commissioner (of services for people with a learning disability and/or autistic people at risk of displaying behaviour which challenges) and a provider of services discussed how they can work together to develop a skilled and confident local social care workforce which can achieve the aims of the transforming care programme. The webinar is for other commissioners and providers of services and training and development to learn from good practice and discuss potential activity for their local areas.
How the National Minimum Data Set for Social Care (NMDS-SC) can help transform care (2 February 2017)
In this webinar our analysis team talked through the recently supplied TCP level analysis of the adult social care workforce.
Learning from the PBS/Autism training fund (24 February 2017)
In this webinar we shared the learning from the PBS-A fund in order that TCPs and employers can most effectively develop skills in their local workforce. Employers who used the fund described what they did, the outcomes they achieved and things they might do differently. This will help Transforming care Partnerships and social care and health employers plan and develop person centred PBS and autism skills, confidence and knowledge in the wider cross sector workforce.
