<p>From July 2022, under the Health and Care Act 2022, Care Quality Commission registered
health and care providers are required to ensure that staff receive training on learning
disability and autism appropriate to their role. This will help to ensure that staff
have the right knowledge and skills to provide safe and compassionate care for people
with a learning disability.</p><p>We are taking steps to help care homes improve the
support they provide through the Care Workforce Pathway that sets clear expectations
about training at different stages of a career. This includes learning disability
and dementia as specific areas of practice. We are also introducing a new Level 2
Adult Social Care Certificate available to the sector with content that has been underpinned
by the Dementia Training Standards and the Core Capabilities Framework on learning
disability.</p>
