The English Community Care Association (ECCA), the leading representative body for independent care providers, has responded to the Government’s White Paper Equity and excellence: liberating the NHS. Martin Green, Chief Executive of ECCA, says: “Our major concern is that the White Paper does not acknowledge strongly enough the pivotal role of social care in the development of an integrated approach to supporting citizens. We have particular concerns about the separation of the monitoring role for commissioning from that of regulating providers. This adds further fragmentation to the system and is perhaps a sad consequence of the inability of the CQC to do justice to this role.” |

Common Introduction Standards information |
|
|
|
|
Following consultation with the sector, Skills for Care has refreshed the Common Induction Standards to ensure they are fit for purpose and reflect current policy and practice. The standards are for people entering social care and those changing roles or employers within the sector. The effective implementation of the Common induction Standards is a significant step towards the delivery of high quality care and support. The standards now map across to the mandatory units of the new Health and Social Care Diploma (the new qualification that will replace the current NVQs) to ensure there is consistency of approach for the workforce. There are now eight standards, however they will not take any longer to complete and the core elements are still retained. To download the standards please visit www.skillsforcare.org.uk/cis |
