<p>It is the responsibility of social care provider organisations to ensure their
employees are suitably qualified, competent, skilled and experienced. They are also
responsible for ensuring their employees receive appropriate support, training and
professional development, to enable them to carry out the duties they are employed
to perform.</p><p> </p><p>The role of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) is not to
assess work place training within the care sector or if the correct training provision
is provided. The CQC’s remit is to understand whether or not the regulated provider
can demonstrate that they have adequate numbers of appropriately skilled, competent
and knowledgeable staff in place to meet the needs of those they provide a service
to.</p><p> </p><p>Where the CQC observes or has evidence that staff are not being
supported, trained or enabled to do their job safely or effectively, and determines
that this has an impact on the quality and safety of care people are experiencing,
it may take action.</p>
