This project involved the following:
- 3,600 people being recruited to the project to undertake an induction training package, which includes 2 units towards a LDAF Level 2 Certificate in Working with People who have Learning Disabilities.
- 1,800 people undertaking work on the foundation package (a further 2 units towards the Certificate).
Some of those undertaking 'foundation' will be new to the project, others will have already completed the induction package, and then move on to foundation; the project aims to recruit a total of 5,400 people.
The initial package on offer consisted of the following:
- Registration with the ARC LDAF Centre
- A copy of Developing Competence in Care either in paper, cd-rom or web-based format
- An initial learning needs assessment, carried out by a work-based tutor
- Support from a Regional Co-ordinator
- Assessment and verification of LDAF assignments
- A completion interview to determine future learning needs
- Certificates for the completed LDAF units
- Web-based support for learning
- Access to a telephone help line
All of the above was available without any cost!
