Frameworks

Skills for Health Core Skills Training Framework:

The Core Skills Training Framework sets out minimum learning outcomes, frequency of refresher training and is linked to relevant legislation or expert guidance.

It can be used by any healthcare employer in the UK including NHS, independent and voluntary providers.

We have mapped our eLearning courses to the learning objectives within the Core Skills Training Framework, to give organisations the confidence that they can use the eLearning as a foundation for their wider training programmes.

The Core and Mandatory Training framework was produced by skills for care in partnership with a panel of social care employers, learning providers and representative organisations and was updated in line with CQC’s revised inspection framework.
