The Skills Academy knows that excellent care begins with excellent
training. The social care sector deserves a workforce that is
committed and well trained and needs surety that the training and
learning available helps to make this happen.

We have made a commitment to do this by pioneering a quality
assurance framework specifically for learning and training that
