5 Framework information Information on the Issuing Authority for this framework: Skills for Care & Development The Apprenticeship sector for occupations in social care and the care of children and young people. Issue number: 6 Framework ID: FR01842 This framework includes: Level 2 Level 3 Date this framework is to be reviewed by: 31/03/2013 This framework is for use in: England Short description The Health and Social Care framework covers care workers, personal assistants, domiciliary care workers community, support and outreach workers, supervisors, senior care workers in adult social care and for example healthcare assistants or clinical support workers in the health sector. It's suitable for those working in the NHS, with private health care or social care providers, local authorities and voluntary organisations.

6 Contact information Proposer of this framework Skills for Care (SfC), partners in the sector skills council Skills for Care and Development, and Skills for Health are joint owners of this framework. Skills for Care has the responsibility for managing the framework on behalf of the partners. The framework has two pathways at Intermediate and Advanced Level. Pathway 1 Adult Social Care is maintained and certificated by Skills for Care (on behalf of Skills for Care and Development) Pathway 2 Health is maintained and certificated by Skills for Health Both Skills for Care and Skills for Health work closely with employers from the Adult Social Care and Health services, and consult with them to ensure content is relevant to the sectors and to determine the desirable level of skills for Apprentices to achieve. Adult Social Care Pathway The role of Skills for Care is to ensure that people who work in adult social care, and those that employ them, have the skills and qualifications to deliver high quality care and support. We work closely with thousands of social care employers, people who use services, carers and other key stakeholders to develop tools and resources that build and enhance the skills of employees. An Apprenticeship Steering group with membership representing employers as well as supply side partners meets regularly to review and inform the framework. Health pathway Employers in the NHS, Independent and Voluntary health sector have endorsed the programme as it gives the broad base training in the skills for the occupational area through the completion of qualifications which are based on National Occupational Standards. This programme leads to increased productivity, retention and a qualified workforce which supports the employer to deliver high quality healthcare. Job role and outline can be viewed later in this document. Developer of this framework Name: Organisation: Susan Smith Skills for Care

8 Revising a framework Contact details Who is making this revision: Your organisation: Your address: Tracey Nicholson Skills for Care info@skillsforcare.org.uk Why this framework is being revised Latest changes: Some additional and revised text. Added new ERR, diploma and PWASC qualifications. Made clear the new minimum requirements for apprentice length of stay on programme as of August Changed the Issuing Authority (SfCD) contact details. Changes in version FR1302 from the previous version: - Corrected social care pathway Intermediate GLH totals where, in some sections, it stated 443 instead of the correct Added new ERR qualifications. - Added information regarding the ERR qualifications listed. - add a recommended programme duration in front of every pathway as well as in the GLH section where it's currently stated - add a minimum required length of stay on Apprenticeship programmes as of August 2012 for different age groups, as specified by the government - add new awarding bodies - changed contact details for the issuing authority on the framework - include a minor wording change to the PLTS section

9 FR00501 All the pathways on the framework now assess PLTS and ERR in the same way: Level 2 Award in Employment Responsibilities and Rights in Health, Social Care, Children and Young People's Settings. The Diploma qualification for the health pathways has been moved to correctly sit as a "Combined" qualification for this pathway. Additional changes have been made to the social care pathway GLH recommendation. New awarding bodies' knowledge, competence, combined and ERR qualifications have been added, as specified below. Correction was made to both the Intermediate and Advanced level health pathways with regards to the number of credits for the ERR and the pathways in total. Summary of changes made to this framework Current version: added new ERR qualifications, changed wording in "On and off the job Guided Learning" section with respect to minimum stay on programme for apprentices starting from August 2012 onwards. Changed the Issuing Authority (SfCD) contact details. Added text to " Proposer of this framework". Changes in FR1302: Corrected social care pathway Intermediate GLH totals where, in some sections, it stated 443 instead of the correct 433. Added new ERR qualifications. Added information regarding the ERR qualifications listed. Revised and clarified the duration of the typical apprentice will spend on programme. Added new awarding bodies. FR00501 and earlier revisions: All the pathways on the framework now assess PLTS and ERR in the same way: Level 2 Award in Employment Responsibilities and Rights in Health, Social Care, Children and Young People's Settings. Previously, the two Health pathways specified a different method of assessing the PLTS and the ERR. The Diploma qualification for the health pathways has been moved to correctly sit as a "Combined" qualification for this pathway. In addition, the two job roles on the health pathways were combined into one field for simplicity. In addition, we have added detail to the off-the-job GLH calculation of the social care pathway. PLTS information for the health care pathway has been corrected - it now correctly states that no technical certificate mapping occurs for the healthcare pathway. Correction was made to both the Intermediate and Advanced level Health pathways with

10 regards to the level of credits for the ERR and the pathway. NOTE: "Certificate for Working in the Health Sector" has never been a part of the SASE-compliant Health and Social care framework. This was a component of the framework on blueprint version 7.5, on the Health pathways.

14 Purpose of this framework Summary of the purpose of the framework An Apprenticeship is a job with an accompanying skills development programme designed by employers in the sector. It allows the apprentice to gain technical knowledge and real practical experience, along with functional and personal skills, required for their immediate job and future career. These are acquired through a mix of learning in the workplace, formal off the job training and the opportunity to practice and embed new skills in a real work context. This broader mix differentiates the Apprenticeship experience from training delivered to meet narrowly focused job needs. On completion of the Apprenticeship the apprentice must be able to undertake the full range of duties, in the range of circumstances appropriate to the job, confidently and competently to the standard set by the industry. This is the sole framework for people employed in delivering adult social care in England. This framework is also suitable for some workers in the health sector. This framework covers the health and social care sectors which include: The National Health Service Private providers Local authorities Voluntary organisations Adult social care sector Social care is the term given to a wide range of care and support for people with assessed need. Social care services are administered through local authorities working with voluntary, private and independent social care organisations. Councils may also provide services themselves or commission others to do so. In social care this framework provides a suitable way to meet the development and qualification needs of a variety of roles and job titles, including care workers, community, support and outreach workers, personal assistance, domiciliary care workers, supervisors and senior care workers. The framework is inclusive of emerging roles in adult social care. As well as being suitable for existing staff, this framework gives apprentices extensive opportunities to gain employment in the social care sector as well as in some health care roles. There were 1.75 million paid jobs in adult social care in England in 2009, of these 1.61 million are directly employed at a place of work and 140,000 are employed by agency, bank and pool

15 workers, volunteers, students and others including self employed. The majority of these roles are at operational level, for which this Intermediate and Advanced level framework is suitable, working with adult service groups: older people, people with learning diasabilities, sensory and physical impairment service users and those that require extra care support. People who use services are supported in a variety of settings including their own homes, supported accommodation, day care provision and residential accommodation. The sector is steadily expected to grow in size of employees, needing a minimum of 2 million workers by 2025, giving potential apprentices great potential for a career in a growing sector. Health sector In the health sector, this framework is suitable for healthcare assistants or clinical support workers. This framework supports the broad vision of the sector to develop an increasingly skilled, flexible and effective workforce whilst maintaining high quality and safe care for patients and it addresses specific outcomes of the Skills for Health Sector Skills Assessment The health sector comprises of over 2 million people who are working in the NHS (public sector) as well as with voluntary and private healthcare providers and employers. The range of roles within the sector is very varied and the NHS careers site lists in the region of 300 different jobs. Individuals are likely to stay within the health sector for the majority of their working lives although they are also likely to change between different job roles and different employers as their career progresses. There is a range of challenges for the health sector as a whole: an ageing population creates higher demand for services and ongoing care; patients have a greater choice of which services and treatments they access; and the current economic climate means that budgets are tight. Apprenticeships are one of the many ways in which employers within the health sector are seeking to address some of these increasing pressures. A qualified and competent support workforce is vital to the patient experience and to the smooth running of services. Clinical healthcare support workers tend to have delegated responsibility for a range of tasks which enables the professionally qualified staff (e.g. nurses, doctors, allied health professionals) to fulfil their own roles more effectively. Aims and objectives of this framework (England) There were around 18,000 starts in on the Health and Social Care Apprenticeship framework. We foresee this figure rising to over 20,000 in , demonstrating an increased demand from primarily social care employers. Staff working in the health or social care sectors can move between the sectors, by using the appropriate award for continuing professional development and by obtaining a qualification or units relevant to the new role. Career progression within the health & social care sectors will

16 not always be vertical, it may also be horizontal. New ways of working and new roles are constantly evolving to meet the health & social care needs of the population. These new roles provide staff with opportunities to develop new competencies often described as expanded roles. Adult Social Care Sector The framework contributes towards developing a social care sector with a skilled, flexible and effective workforce whilst maintaining high quality and safe care for those who use services. Through completion of this learners will gain broad-base training in the chosen occupational area with a good knowledge base of the sector as a whole, work experience that leads to competency in the work place and transferable skills. Adult social care employers are increasingly looking to s, and in particular this framework, as a way to effectively train their workforce and new staff. The framework is a key route for younger people into the sector and an ideal way of recruiting younger entrants to our workforce. Apprentices aged 16 and 17 may carry out personal care provided the person receiving care gives consent, they have been suitably trained and are deemed competent by their manager. This is a statement supported by the CQC (Care Quality Commission) and a copy of it can be found on the Skills for Care website: The sector welcomes the contribution to training and development represented by the apprentices who make up a significant section of the workforce. Employers have endorsed the programme as it gives the broad base training in the knowledge and skills required for the occupational area through the completion of qualifications which are linked to National Occupational Standards. Apprenticeships lead to better productivity, retention and a qualified workforce which aids the employers in their delivery of services. The framework contributes towards addressing the skills gaps identified in State of the Adult Social Care Workforce In social care 27 roles have been identified to undertake the variety of tasks needed to meet the requirements, needs and choices of people who use social care services. The Health and Social Care Act 2008 sets the regulatory framework for staff working in social care and provides the base for minimum qualification requirements. Health Sector The framework will contribute towards developing a health sector with a skilled, flexible and effective workforce whilst maintaining high quality and safe care for patients. Through completion of this learners will gain:

17 broad base training in the chosen occupational area work experience that leads to competency in the work place transferable skills Employers have endorsed the programme as it gives the broad base training in the skills for the occupational area through the completion of qualifications which are based on National Occupational Standards. This programme leads to better productivity, retention and a qualified workforce which aids the employer. Job role and outline can be viewed later in this document. The framework contributes toward addressing the skills gaps identified in the 2011 Skills for Health UK Sector Skills Assessment: -us/resource-library/doc_download/328-sfh-summary-sector-skills-assessment-2011.html The programme ensures that learners are supported in the application of their learning directly into the workplace. Learners receive a minimum guaranteed amount of on and off the job training and will acquire transferable skills to support further progression. The framework specifically supports the need to develop the skills and knowledge of workers at career framework levels 1 4 and provides career progression routes. In the health sector the area of greatest expansion is in assistant practitioners. In some cases staff will be recruited directly into the role and undertake work based learning to achieve the competence required, in other cases staff may progress to assistant practitioner from support worker roles

18 Entry conditions for this framework Formal Entry Criteria There are no formal entry conditions for this framework. Potential apprentices should however be willing to undergo an enhanced CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check. Employers in social care and in the health sector carry out CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) checks, as this is a requirement for those working in the sectors, and certain offences may disqualify potential apprentices from employment in these sectors and thus automatically preclude them from completing the framework. Potential apprentices should therefore discuss any relevant matters with their employer prior to enrolment. What to consider at entry Whilst there are no formal criteria, people who successfully complete s and continue to work in the sector most often exhibit empathy, care and interest in others and want to work in the health or social care sector. Whilst it is practical to upskill staff, successful apprentices tend to come with the values and attitudes compatible with the roles they will be working in. Potential apprentices should have a suitable level of physical fitness and ability to perform some aspects of the job roles. These may, for example, involve assisting in moving and handling of people. Examples of desirable skills and attributes in potential apprentices could include: motivation to succeed within the sector/s good interpersonal skills, effective verbal and non-verbal communication skills respect for people who use the services as individuals a suitable level of physical fitness may be necessary in order to perform some aspects of the job roles, for example, assisting and moving people who use the services. willingness to undertake training and learning programmes and apply that learning in the workplace the ability to demonstrate that they have the potential to complete the Diploma in Health and Social Care and other qualifications that are part of the Apprenticeship framework willingness and ability to work both long shifts and irregular shift patterns as across the health and social care sectors provision of care has to be available twenty four hours a day willingness to undertake personal care which includes assistance with dressing, feeding, washing and toileting, as well as advice, encouragement and emotional and psychological support an ability to work in small informal teams, demonstrating their listening skills and

19 contributing towards decision making and practice as well as working in more formal teams following procedures a positive non-judgemental and open-minded attitude and value-system a standard of literacy and numeracy in keeping with the demands of the job willingness to undergo a Criminal Records Bureau check, enhanced CRB checks are mandatory for all those working directly with patients or service users in the health and social care sectors a driving license may be considered necessary by some employers Benefits of Previous Experience and Related Courses Potential apprentices who have already achieved a Young Apprenticeship, the Society, Health and Development Diploma or other health and social care knowledge qualifications will benefit from these qualifications and their prior learning. Some may have, for example, achieved Functional Skills. People already working in care or health roles for which this framework has been designed are likely to achieve the more quickly than those new to the sector. Personal Care and Apprentices Aged Under 18 Apprentices aged 16 and 17 may carry out personal care provided the person receiving care gives consent, they have been suitably trained and are deemed competent by their manager. This is a statement supported by the CQC (Care Quality Commission) and a copy of it can be found on the Skills for Care website:

Inclusion of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) The requirements of the Transferable Skills regarding ICT, at Intermediate and/or Advanced level, is significantly higher/broader than the skills required and/or practiced by the majority of staff operating at level 2 and 3 across the roles identified within this framework. ICT is infrequently used in job roles which fall under the Intermediate level Apprenticeship. Sector consultation has taken place to establish the rationale for this decision. This consultation focused first on employers and an expert steering group and a secondary consultation was carried out with the provider/supply side. We have included guidance to encourage ICT to be provided as an optional qualification where via IAG it is identified as appropriate to a work setting and/or role.

31 ... level 2... Pathway 1 Progression routes into and from this pathway Skills for Care have developed a career pathways information tool which shows progression options at every occupational level, including Intermediate and Advanced level Apprenticeships. This can be accessed at e.org.uk/ and it contains examples, case studies and videos. The career pathways matrix, a part of the tool, can be accessed at hways.skillsforcare.org.uk/career/matrix.html Progression TO the Intermediate level Apprenticeship Apprentices will be from different age groups, with differing backgrounds and experience. As there are no formal entry criteria, apprentices do not have to enter from previous qualification routes. As a guide, applicants may enter via a range of routes including from: school or college work work experience the sector route-way or other entry to employment programmes unemployment training and/or experience which may include a portfolio showing what they have done Health and Social Care NVQ only competence qualification Society, Health and Development Diploma a Young Apprenticeship foundation learning at level 1 Key Skills or Functional Skills level 1 or 2 knowledge qualifications relevant to health and social care other level 1 and level 2 qualifications Progression FROM the Intermediate level Apprenticeship Learners may progress from this pathway onto further qualifications specific to their work context. A wide range of qualifications are available for use within the social care sector. These may include further frameworks (e.g. Advanced level Apprenticeship in Health and Social Care), QCF qualifications or other work-related education and training to support Continuing Professional Development.

As there are no formal entry criteria, apprentices do not have to enter from previous qualification routes.

A wide range of qualifications are available for use within the health sector. These may include further frameworks (e.g. level 3 in clinical healthcare support), QCF qualifications or other work-related education and training to support continuing professional development. Progression should not just be seen as vertical. In some instances progressing into another role at the same level may be just as rewarding as it offers the opportunity to develop new skills and knowledge. Many clinical healthcare support apprentices complete their s and continue to work as clinical healthcare support workers or healthcare assistants with delegated duties assigned to them by the practitioners they work alongside.
