Developing Skills in Health and Social Care

From September 2020, Norfolk County Council and Suffolk County Council are providing access to qualifications in health and social care.

The project is operating in both Suffolk and Norfolk, and will be provided by local partners. The courses and training units included are:

Functional skills in Maths, English and IT
Level 1 Course embedding the Care Certificate
Level 1 Course in strengths based and person-centred approaches
Standalone Level 2 Units in Dementia, End of Life Care, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities and Autism
Bespoke Level 4 Aspiring Manager programme tailored to specific leadership skills currently lacking in the sector

The project is part-funded by the European Social Fund, led by Norfolk and Suffolk County Councils, working with local colleges and other partners. Please view this video for more information.

The aim of the project is to empower people working in the sector to develop new skills, enabling them to continue providing high-quality care to local people.
