Skills for Care seeks views from employers on best practice guidelines for workforce development. Skills for Care have been asked by the Care Quality Commission to develop best practice guidelines to underpin the workforce elements of their guidance about compliance, published last month. Skills for Care has launched an online survey to give all adult social care services regulated by the CQC a say and to ensure that the guidelines reflect best practice within the sector. The new survey launched today will help make sure the employer voice is heard in developing robust supportive guidelines for the CQC and the sector in relation to the workforce components of the guidance. Employers will be asked for their views to help identify best practice in relation to workforce development and the results of the survey will form the basis of the best practice guidelines underpinning new regulations. “There is no doubt that the voice of employers and their examples of best practice are essential to making sure that these guidelines are fit for purpose to have a real impact on frontline delivery so we would urge all employers to have their say,” Says Skills for Care CEO Andrea Rowe. The survey is open for a month closing on 10 February 2010 and is available in the consultation of the Skills for Care website at: http://www.skillsforcare.org.uk/participation/consultations/consultations.aspx
