Learning Pathway for Social Care

UNISON Wales Union Learning Funded Project In Partnership with Community Lives Consortium
Introduction
Connecting Learners Connecting Learners (in the Third Sector in South Wales) is a partnership project between Unison, Community Lives Consortium, and over 4000 communityvoluntary organisations across Wales. It is funded by the Wales Union Learning Fund. The aim of the project is to support and compliment work based learning opportunities – but with a particular focus on the basic skills of numeracy and literacy. We are also working with other unions representing the staff in the partnership so that the provision is as wide reaching as possible. The Project will run until the 31st March 2013. 2
Partner Organisations UNISON is Britain and Europe's biggest public sector union with more than 1.3 million members. Our members are people working in the public services, for private contractors providing public services and in the essential utilities. They include frontline staff and managers working full or part time in local authorities, the NHS, the police service, colleges and schools, the electricity, gas and water industries, transport and the voluntary sector. Last year UNISON recruited 137,000 new members 375 per day. Community Lives Consortium (known as The Consortium) is a non profit making organisation with charitable status, registered as an Industrial and Provident Society which has charitable status, registration number 26673R. The Consortium provides support for adults with learning disabilities working in partnership with Social Services and Health Agencies. Background Working with our partner Project in North Wales and accessing their networks, we were pleased to identify the North Wales Social Care Passport. Using this resource, we have developed a learning pathway to support and to stimulate interest in work based learning and personal development.
The learning pathway has been designed to provide guidance on core and mandatory training for staff employed in the delivery of social care. It also provides a focal point for continuing professional development and areas of personal interest. Many courses and workshops can be funded by the Connecting Learners Project or via our UNISON brokered partnership with the Open University.
