Learning and Development Offer Phase 1 and Continuous Professional Development Budgets for Regulated Health Professionals

In December 2021 the Government released a White Paper: People at the Heart of Care outlining its vision for the adult social care workforce. Backed up by at least £500 million to transform the way Government supports and develops the workforce, the policies in the White Paper aim to create a workforce which is:
• Well trained and developed;
• Healthy and supported; and
• Sustainable and recognised.
This will contribute to wider strategic aims to ensure that those who receive care are provided with choice, control, and support to live independent lives; that they receive outstanding quality and tailored care; and that people find adult social care fair and accessible.

It is intended that part of this investment shall support and enhance access to good quality training for those working in social care through:
1. Learning and Development Offer for non-regulated care workforce
2. Continuous Professional Development for eligible Regulated Health Professionals
