tabling member printed	Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb
uin	HL4871
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2021 answer text <p>There are a number of nationally recognised qualifications available for those working in the adult social care sector. We are also investing in the social care workforce to support those working in care to access training and qualifications and increase their skills.</p><p>In addition, the Care Certificate provides nationally recognised training standards for non-registered roles. The standards equip workers with the fundamental skills they need to provide quality care and care workers complete the Care Certificate as part of their induction training. We have also committed to the creation of a delivery standard recognised across the sector. This will improve the portability of the Care Certificate, to avoid care workers repeating training when moving roles. We are exploring options to establish a requirement for all care workers to have reached this baseline standard.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 20/12/2021 14:54:26 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall
