Learn to Care
Learn to Care represents heads of social care learning and workforce development in all councils in England. Members are situated in a range of organisational structures while retaining responsibility for the social care workforce. The committee represents the nine regions of England and members, along with other colleagues, are responsible for commissioning and/or delivering learning and development activity for the adult and children’s social care workforce across local authorities and other partner organisations.
The committee is made up of representatives of the nine regions and members work with the support of their employers on behalf of Learn to Care as well as carrying out their day to day responsibilities within their workplaces.
The committee represents the membership at national and regional level on strategic steering and advisory groups to ensure the workforce planning and development agenda is properly discussed, integrated and understood. This enables us to influence strategy whilst representing the local authorities’ perspectives.
Our aims are:
- To promote workforce development, in particular, of those who deliver services or support the social care industry, and, where appropriate, to make links with other professional bodies in order to further their professional development;
- To promote the professional interests of members;
- To represent the views of the association to appropriate statutory and non statutory bodies;
- To disseminate information regarding workforce development to all members and interested parties;
- To strengthen links with all regional and national organisations involved in learning and workforce development in the social care workforce
To enable up to the minute communciation between committee and members, please ensure that your regional representative has accurate details of your Local Authority, job role and email and postal addresses.
