Introduction and Welcome Welcome to this year’s programme of continuous professional development opportunities for the adult social care workforce. Stockton Borough Council is currently facing unprecedented financial challenges similar to many other publicly funded organisations. However, in developing this programme, the authority has continued to recognise the importance of investing in the training and development of its employees and those organisations with whom it contracts. This enables the ongoing development of skills and knowledge of workers to facilitate the provision of high quality and effective services to service users and their carers. The council’s aim is to enable people to exercise choice and control over how their care needs are met. This programme provides a wide range of courses which embed this principle whilst also ensuring that workers and services meet the current National Occupational Standards for social care services. There continues to be significant development within adult social care, particularly in the field of social work. The Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) for newly qualified social workers has been introduced and is being fully supported by both workforce development and operational staff. Work continues to embed the Professional Capabilities Framework (PCF), the standards framework for social workers, into the training and development activities provided. The Knowledge and Skills Statement (KSS) for Adult social workers has been introduced as a benchmark in assessment alongside the PCF for social workers in their ASYE. Throughout the year training opportunities will be developed to meet emerging needs, ensuring that these are responsive to the needs of all levels of workers.

The adult social care programme is open to Children, Education and Social Care staff, the private and voluntary sector in registered and supporting people services and personal assistants working in Stockton. This programme sits alongside the authority’s multi-agency safeguarding programme and together they demonstrate Stockton Borough Council’s commitment to providing high quality training opportunities.

Changes for Social Work: Learning, Training and Development The Professional Capabilities Framework (PCF) has been introduced and is hosted by BASW. The PCF contains 9 domains to map our development against as workers. These are:

• Professionalism• Values and Ethics• Diversity• Rights, Justice and Poverty• Knowledge• Critical Reflection and Analysis• Intervention and Skills• Contexts and Organisations• Professional Leadership

A copy of the PCF can be accessed at: https://www.basw.co.uk/pcf/

Different level descriptors are available whether you are a student, ASYE, social worker, experienced social worker or manager. We are currently registered with the Health Care Professions Council and have the following CPD requirements: • Maintain a continuous, up-to-date and accurate record of their CPD activities

• Demonstrate that their CPD activities are a mixture of learning activities relevant to current orfuture practice

• Seek to ensure that their CPD has contributed to the quality of their practice and service delivery• Seek to ensure that their CPD benefits the service user, and• Upon request, present a written profile (which must be their own work and supported by

evidence) explaining how they have met the standards for CPD

Whenever a profession renews its registration, they randomly audit (check) the CPD of 2.5 % of professionals. Those registrants who are chosen for audit must submit a CPD profile to show how their CPD meets the standards. We have had several members of staff who were lucky enough to be selected to show how their CPD has met the standards!

The HCPC site suggests profile templates, which include personal statements as well as recording of the activity undertaken. More detailed information on this can be obtained from the HCPC http://www.hpc-uk.org/registrants/cpd/profile/ Key Knowledge and Skills (KSS) for adults have been developed and can be accessed on https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/411957/KSS.pdf For ASYEs the intention would be that you will be assessed against these statements at the end of the first year of practice.

The ASYE is a common programme for all of children’s and adults’ social work which includes a holistic assessment of an individual’s abilities in their first year of employment as a qualified social worker by introducing a consistent standard against which, knowledge and capability can be judged. Assessment is based on the Professional Capabilities Framework (PCF) for social work (see below) and successful completion includes certification. Professional Capabilities Framework for Social Workers

The e-learning programme on offer from Stockton LSCB includes:

An introduction to Safeguarding Children

This module is aimed at anyone who comes into contact with children or their families. The aim of the module is to concentrate on ways in which children and young people can ‘stay safe’ by minimising the incidence of child abuse and child neglect

Awareness of Child Abuse and Neglect - Core Module This course covers a variety of child protection issues. It aims to inform about the various types of abuse or neglect to a child and then explain what you must do if you suspect that a child is being abused or neglected. This is the full version and is suitable for members of staff who regularly come into contact with children throughout the day

Awareness of Abuse and Neglect Foundation Module This course is suitable for anyone who may come into contact with children. It is a reduced version of the safeguarding children (core) course and it is designed to be suitable for all, not just child specialists

Awareness of Child Abuse and Neglect - Young People Version This course is specifically aimed at those who work with young people aged 12-18 and covers a variety of child protection issues which affect this age group

Hidden Harm It is estimated that there are 1.5 million children of problem drug and alcohol users in the UK. Services naturally focus their attention on the problem user but in this process, the effects on the children can be overlooked. There is now a government directive that aims to raise awareness of this issue and increase opportunities for early intervention. The course aims to raise awareness of the issues affecting the children of problem substance users. It helps the learner to spot the signs of harm and identify appropriate windows of opportunity to break the cycle and safeguard the child. The course has been developed by 5 national drug and alcohol teams and peer-reviewed by panels of experts in the field



An Introduction to Integrated Working - Early Help Assessment, Information Sharing & Lead Professional This basic awareness course covers the following learning objectives: The Common Assessment Framework (CAF), information sharing and the role of the lead professional. The course will give an in depth understanding of these topic areas so that they can confidently discuss the concepts with families, should they need to. It will provide underpinning knowledge for lead professionals or practitioners, prior to face to face training

Safeguarding Children Refresher Training It is a statutory requirement for anyone who works with children to update their knowledge of legislation and guidance and maintain the ability to act on concerns regarding the safety and welfare of children and young people. The government guidance suggests that refresher training should take place every three years. Whilst necessary, this can be costly for organisations and frustrating for members of staff, who may have heavy case loads and find it difficult to get away from work to attend a refresher course. The safeguarding children e-academy has developed an online refresher course in collaboration with experts from six Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCBs), which covers all the changes in safeguarding over the last three years. It is regularly updated to reflect changes

Risk Assessment in Safeguarding The aim of this module is to help practitioners from all agencies develop an understanding of theories of risk assessment, and become competent and confident in applying them when working with children, young people and their families. This course aims to be a tool for analysing risk and identifying: • Needs when working to strengthen families• Model of assessment• Risk assessment framework• Triggers for concerns• Information sharing

Think Safe, Be Safe, Stay Safe This module is aimed at young people aged 11-18 yrs who work with children or other young people, for example, as young volunteers, peer mentors, babysitters, etc.

The following National e-learning course is also available

Home Office – PREVENT / CHANNEL Awareness

This free e-learning course includes information on how CHANNEL links to the Government’s counter-terrorism strategy (CONTEST) through the PREVENT strategy. It also provides guidance on how to identify people who may be vulnerable to radicalization and how to refer them into the CHANNEL programme.
