Important Announcement: Transitioning to a New Era of Skills Enhancement
We are at the cusp of an essential transformation within the landscape of professional learning and development in the health and social care sector. An important update has been announced that will pave the way for future training and skill enhancement opportunities.
The Department of Health and Social Care is set to unveil a brand-new initiative in the coming months: the Targeted Upskilling Fund (TUF). This innovative fund is designed to aid learning providers in elevating the quality and efficiency of training, thereby contributing to the overarching goal of improved patient care.
Accompanying the TUF will be a fresh endorsement process for learning providers, earmarking a milestone shift in the standards and expectations for professional development.
Evolving with the Times:
In sync with this impending new structure, Skills for Care has made a strategic move to close its Endorsement Programme effective immediately. This applies to both new applications and renewals from currently endorsed providers. This decision is not the end but the beginning of an enhanced focus on high-quality learning and development opportunities.
Caredemy fully supports this transition and wishes to reassure all our users and partners that our commitment to excellence and professional progression remains steadfast. We see this change not as a closure but as a horizon of new beginnings.
Moving Forward with Strategic Alliances:
As we anticipate the launch of the TUF, Caredemy wishes to affirm our unwavering dedication to staying at the forefront of endorsed learning providers. We are actively in discussions with the Department of Health and Social Care, ensuring our alignment with their new accreditation standards and processes.
Our pledge to you, our valued learners and collaborators, is that Caredemy will continue to work closely with Skills for Care and the Department of Health and Social Care. We aim to not only meet but exceed future criteria for endorsement under the new Targeted Upskilling Fund.
The spirit of collaboration and excellence that has been at the heart of our relationship with Skills for Care will persevere as we support the health and social care sector’s learning ecosystem.
What This Means for You:
Current Learners and Providers: Be assured that any ongoing courses or programmes will continue without interruption. Your journey of learning remains our priority.
Future Endeavours: We are poised to offer an even wider array of updated learning materials and courses aligned with the TUF, ensuring that we provide the most recent, evidence-based, and effective training available.
Continuous Support: Caredemy is committed to ease of access, comprehensive material, and continuous support for all our users throughout this transition and beyond.
We wholeheartedly embrace the reforms proposed by the Department of Health and Social Care and look forward to adding value to the new endorsement framework with our experience, expertise, and commitment to quality education.
