The organisation Skills for Care has published a training booklet which is useful for people who receive personal budgets or Direct Payments and who might want to buy in training for their own staff.

The new user-friendly code offers practical advice to micro-employers to help them draw up effective training plans for personal assistants, guidance on how to put the plan into action and how to monitor the progress of personal assistants as they work towards qualifications.

The booklet can be downloaded from the Skills for Care website here: Skills for Care training booklet.

If you would like to know what training ECDP provides for personal assistants, please see the relevant section of our website: Employer training from ECDP, which also has details on how to contact us about the training.
