Welcome to the
National Skills Academy for Social Care

The National Skills Academy for Social Care, which is currently in its business planning stage, will be the first welfare-related Skills Academy in the National Skills Academy network.

It will target learning support and training practice to the 1.5 million adult social care workers and 39,000 employers in England, with a particular emphasis on small and medium-sized organisations with limited training and development budgets. 

The employer-led Skills Academy is being designed to complement the existing organisations within the sector, identifying gaps, transforming provision and promoting excellence in skills development, learning support and training practice in social care.
