00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,080
Hello, my name is Karen Wakelin...
2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,600
..and I'm one of the Improvement
and Development managers...
3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,200
..for Social Care Wales.
4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,480
This presentation is going to take
you through the new level 4 and 5...
5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,280
..qualifications for health
and social care...
6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,880
..and the impact of these
on registration...
7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,480
..as a social care manager.
8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,360
Level 4 Health and Social Care
professional practice qualification.
9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,560
This qualification has been designed
for those workers...
10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,160
..who wish to develop
a level of expertise...
11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,120
..in a particular area of practice -
they may include team leaders...
12
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:39,720
..or practice leaders.
13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,160
The content of the qualification
can be found...
14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,280
..in the Qualification Specification
and the way it will be assessed...
15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,480
..can be found
in the Assessment Pack.
16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,200
Both of these can be found on Health
and Care Learning Wales website.
17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,400
A minimum of 62 credits must be
achieved for this qualification.
18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,760
The size of the pathway units
vary a little...
19
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,600
..and some learners might need
slightly more credits than this.
20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,080
There are two mandatory units
in the qualification...
21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,240
The first is 'Legislation, theories
and models of person...
22
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,360
..or child-centred practice',
and that's a knowledge only unit.
23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
The second is Professional practice
and that's a practice unit.
24
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,240
And there are a range of optional
or pathway units.
25
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,400
Learners will select one of these.
26
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,400
The pathway units are...
27
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,200
..leading practice with individuals
living with dementia...
28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,760
..individuals living
with mental ill health...
29
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,400
..individuals with learning
disability and/or autism...
30
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,720
..children and young people
who are looked after...
31
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,200
..disabled children
and young people...
32
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,320
..families and carers...
33
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,720
..leading support for reducing
restrictive practices...
34
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,200
..through positive approaches
for behaviour support.
35
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,440
The first mandatory unit in the
qualification is the same...
36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,520
..as one of three mandatory
units in the level 4...
37
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,120
..preparing for leadership
and management qualification...
38
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,200
..and we're going to talk about this
in the next slide.
39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,800
This allows an element of
transferability should learners...
40
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,600
..wish to develop as a manager
at a later date.
41
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,080
The assessment of the qualification
is made up of...
42
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,440
..structured tasks which are set
by the awarding body...
43
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,320
..and these include evaluation
of practice to improve outcomes...
44
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,320
..for individuals,
the implementation of a plan...
45
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,640
..to improve practice
in the setting...
46
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,400
..and observation of that
implementation.
47
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,080
That includes...
48
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,640
..a reflective log...
49
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,520
..a porfolio of evidence...
50
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,800
..and a professional discussion.
51
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,680
Each of the assessment tasks
for the qualification...
52
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,600
..will be released incrementally
by the assessor.
53
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:01,000
This makes sure that they are
completed sequentially.
54
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,880
The length of time it takes to
complete will therefore depend...
55
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:08,600
..on the speed at which the learner
moves through the tasks.
56
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,440
The qualification can be funded...
57
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,360
..through the Apprenticeship
Framework and learners can choose...
58
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,440
..to complete it on its own
or alongside the level 4...
59
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,160
..Preparing for Leadership
and Management...
60
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,840
..in Health and Social Care.
61
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,360
All learners using apprenticeship
funding must complete...
62
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,200
..essential skills qualifications
as well.
63
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,240
Only one pathway unit can be
completed for the qualification...
64
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,640
..but the content of any of the
units can be used to inform...
65
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,200
..continued professional
development.
66
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,240
Learners must be
at least 18 years of age...
67
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,920
..to undertake the qualification,
they must also be in a role...
68
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,600
..where they can provide evidence
of practice at this level.
69
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:00,160
There are also some other level 4
qualifications, for advocacy...
70
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,880
..shared lives and the social
services practitioner.
71
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,040
These qualifications
have been developed...
72
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,040
..for specific functional areas.
73
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,040
The assessment will be similar to
that of the other qualifications...
74
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,240
..but with a stronger focus
on the functions of the role.
75
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:19,920
We will be running separate events
for these qualifications...
76
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,600
..as they are role specific.
77
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,560
The Level 4 Preparing for leadership
and management...
78
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,200
..in health and social care
qualification.
79
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,560
This 60 credit qualification
has been developed...
80
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,080
..for aspiring managers.
81
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,760
It is based on the
University of South Wales...
82
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,360
..'Step up to management'
qualification...
83
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,160
..and provides learners with the
knowledge and understanding...
84
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,680
..needed to undertake
a management role...
85
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,960
..and progress on to the level 5
practice qualification.
86
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,760
It is a pre-requisite for the level
5 leadership and management...
87
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,960
..of health and social care practice
qualification...
88
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,960
..and will be needed for
registration along with...
89
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,080
..enrolment on, or completion of,
the new level 5 qualification.
90
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,960
The qualification is made up of
three knowledge only units...
91
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,200
The first is legislation, theories
and models of person...
92
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,000
..or child-centred practice.
93
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,480
That's also in the professional
practice qualification...
94
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,120
..that we just looked at.
95
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,520
Theoretical frameworks for
leadership and management...
96
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,240
..in health and social care.
97
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,280
Leadership and management of
effective team performance...
98
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,800
..in health and social care
services.
99
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,200
Each unit has a combination of
written and oral assessments...
100
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,800
..and these are set
by the awarding body.
101
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,160
Again, the content of the
qualification can be found...
102
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,280
..in the Qualification Specification
and the way it can be assessed...
103
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,280
..is found in the Assessment Pack.
104
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,160
They are accessed on the Health
and Care Learning Wales website.
105
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,480
The qualification can also
be funded...
106
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,880
..through the Apprenticeship
Framework and completed...
107
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,200
..alongside either the level 4
Professional Practice...
108
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,480
..qualification or the level 5...
109
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,160
..Leadership and Management
qualification.
110
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,000
The minimum age for undertaking
this qualification is 18.
111
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,360
Okay, so we're going to talk next
about the Level 5...
112
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,320
..Leadership and management
qualification...
113
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,040
..in Health and Social Care.
114
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,400
Learners will have needed
to have completed either...
115
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,760
..the Level 4 Preparing for
leadership and management...
116
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,080
..or the
University of South Wales...
117
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,560
..Step up to management
qualification prior to starting...
118
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,400
..the level 5 qualification.
119
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,760
This qualification requires learners
to put the knowledge...
120
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,560
..they have learned in the Level 4
qualification into practice...
121
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,640
..and learners must be in a role
where they can show...
122
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,800
..that they meet the requirements.
123
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,480
The 120 credit qualification
is made up...
124
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,200
..of 90 credits mandatory content
and 30 credits from optional units.
125
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,360
The 90 credits cover generic aspects
of the leadership and management...
126
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,080
..of social care services,
including...
127
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,080
..person or child-centred practice,
effective team performance...
128
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,880
..quality of service delivery,
professional practice...
129
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,400
..safeguarding
and health and safety.
130
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,880
It will be a requirement for
registration for new managers...
131
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,600
..to either hold this
or be enrolled on it.
132
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,040
Those enrolled on the qualification
must complete it within 3 years...
133
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,800
..of their date of registration
as a manager.
134
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,960
The assessment of the qualification
is made up of...
135
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,000
..a business project based
on an opportunity for a new...
136
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,600
..or revised provision within
the service or organisation...
137
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,520
..to improve service delivery,
and that would include observation.
138
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,040
It includes a reflective log,
a portfolio of evidence...
139
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,600
..and again,
a professional discussion.
140
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,520
The content of the qualification,
again, can be found...
141
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,920
..in the Qualification Specification
and the assessment...
142
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,520
..in the Assessment Pack...
143
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,200
..on the Health and Care
Learning Wales website.
144
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,200
The qualification can be funded...
145
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,560
..through the Apprenticeship
Framework.
146
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,640
The minimum age
for completion is 18.
147
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:20,080
So, the next slide is a screenshot,
really, of our website.
148
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,840
We have a Qualification Framework
for social care...
149
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,720
..and regulated childcare
and this can be used...
150
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,400
..to see which qualification
is required for different roles.
151
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,680
It is located on the 'Find a
qualification' tab on our website...
152
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,280
..as shown on the screen.
153
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,240
It is an interactive framework
which can be used to drill down...
154
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,240
..from service areas into roles,
and then the qualifications needed.
155
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,960
The example on screen here shows
care home services for adults...
156
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,640
..and you can click on
any of those job roles...
157
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:58,040
..and it will tell you the
qualifications which are needed.
158
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,640
So the next two slides are the same
screenshots in Welsh.
159
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,760
The Qualification framework
sets out the requirements...
160
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,480
..and recommendations
for qualifications...
161
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,200
..for a wide range of roles.
162
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,080
It's an interactive tool
and sets out a number of things.
163
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,600
So, the current qualification
accepted sets out...
164
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,320
..the current qualifications
that are accepted for practice...
165
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,720
..and whether there are any
registration requirements...
166
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,320
..for a particular role.
167
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,280
The section for other requirements
sets out...
168
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,080
..any additional requirements
set by others...
169
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,400
..for example, service regulators.
170
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,680
The section for other qualifications
sets out any other current...
171
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,200
..or older qualifications
that are accepted for practice...
172
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,400
..for example the QCF diplomas
or NVQ qualifications.
173
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,360
The section for other UK
qualifications sets out...
174
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,920
..any UK qualifications
which are accepted for practice...
175
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,880
..along with any top ups
that may be needed.
176
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,000
The induction requirements set out
any specific...
177
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,480
..induction requirements and,
where relevant, links to...
178
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,800
..the All Wales Induction Framework.
179
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,040
PRTL - Post Registration Training
and Learning sets out...
180
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,080
..any additional learning needed
for a particular role...
181
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,000
..usually for registration.
182
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,240
The Qualification framework can be
accessed on our website.
183
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,720
The link to it is in the notes page.
184
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,200
So, what's needed for registration?
185
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,400
The qualifications required for each
role for registration are listed...
186
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,600
..on the Qualification Framework.
187
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,080
Sometimes, managers may hold
a similar qualification...
188
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,400
..to one of those listed,
for example...
189
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,360
..Level 5 Diploma in Leadership of
Health and Social Care Services...
190
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,040
..Adult Management, but they want
to work in a different role...
191
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,320
..perhaps in care home services
where they would need...
192
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,400
..a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership of
Health and Social Care Services...
193
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,400
..Adult Residential Management.
194
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,800
Another example would be someone
coming to work in Wales...
195
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,400
..from another UK nation.
196
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,600
In the past, managers would have
been able to 'top up'...
197
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,320
..their qualification with
additional units.
198
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,000
This is no longer possible.
199
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,480
Following discussions
with the sector...
200
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,800
..we have decided to develop
an induction framework...
201
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,480
..for social care managers.
202
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,000
The induction framework is based
on the learning outcomes...
203
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,080
..of the new level 5 qualification.
204
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,680
We will be introducing this
at a later date...
205
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,480
..for all new social care managers,
but for those who wish to use...
206
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,000
..an alternative qualification
as we have just described...
207
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,280
..completion will be required within
their first 3 years of registration.
208
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,200
This will ensure they have been
given the opportunity and support...
209
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,680
..to develop the skills and
competencies for their new role.
210
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,360
Completion of the induction
framework will replace the need...
211
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,960
..for top up units.
212
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,040
Those moving from another UK Nation
would then learn about specific...
213
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,440
..Welsh legislation and show
how they are applying this...
214
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,000
..in their practice.
215
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,240
We are currently working on detailed
guidance for this...
216
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,960
..and will be running sessions
for employers...
217
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,560
..a little later in the year.
218
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,120
This will include
who would be responsible...
219
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,000
..for signing off the framework
as being completed.
220
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,800
It will be implemented immediately
for those managers who need it...
221
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,920
..as top up for their qualification
for registration...
222
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,400
..and later in the year for general
use for social care managers.
223
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,800
If you have any queries
about qualifications...
224
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,120
..please contact us
and let us know...
225
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,400
..and look out for the upcoming
events for the implementation...
226
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,800
..of the induction framework.
227
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,640
Thank you.
