from Skills for Care
Skills for Care have been asked by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to develop best practice guidelines to be used by CQC and the sector as a whole to underpin the workforce components of the new CQC regulations.
These guidelines will be owned by Skills for Care, will be clear and consistent, reflect good practice and be cost effective for employers. Skills for Care state that they will work to ensure that these best practice guidelines will link with existing workforce requirements, as well as those that may be announced in due course by CQC.
To ensure that the guidelines reflect the requirements of learning disability organisations, Skills for Care are seeking the views of all ARC members, to help shape their development.
The survey closes on 10 February 2010, all responses are anonymous.
