Denbighshire’s Social Care Workforce Development Partnership (SCWDP) was set up in 2003 following the Welsh Assembly’s publication of Training and Staff Development across the Social Care Sector to ensure ‘One Sector – One Workforce’. This gave each local authority the lead responsibility for the Social Care Workforce Development Grant.

Aims of the partnership

The primary aim is for a whole sector approach to meeting training needs and attaining national qualification targets.  We aim to support employers of social care workers with training, continuous professional development and workforce matters.

What we do and why

The objective of the Denbighshire SCWDP is to ensure that all employers of social care staff have access to relevant training, information and guidance concerned with social care.  This in turn will improve the quality of services for social care users, their carers and families through the development of an appropriately skilled and qualified social care workforce throughout the whole of Denbighshire.

The SCWDP provides a comprehensive training and development programme.  The programme is open to external social care providers and other social care organisations working within Denbighshire who provide adult, children and family care services.

Summary of the Workforce Development Survey 2009/2010

The workforce survey is sent out each year ensure the independent sector data regarding qualification levels, training needs and the workforce are incorporated into all plans submitted as part of the grant application process.  Without them, we would not be able to apply for the grant. The attached information shows a summary of the results that have been collated.
