Publish a fully costed plan for funding Level 5 diplomas for care home managers.
Recommendation
It is clear that some care home managers lack the training and support they need to stay in post. We welcome the Government’s commitment to fund Level 5 diplomas for those who need them, and we urge the Government to publish a fully costed plan for doing so by the end of the year.
Government Response Summary
The government broadly agrees, stating it has published plans for workforce reform in the ‘People at the Heart of Care’ white paper and will set out more detailed plans, including for training, in due course.
