Learning and Development Programme
Calderdale MBC’s new October 2015 to March 2016 Multi-Agency Learning
and Development Programme continues to provide the high quality fully
funded learning opportunities offered by the Council in previous programmes.
The programme aims to cover the wide range of topics relevant to those
working with children, young people and families and offer these at
appropriate levels.
The Levels
The programme has combined elements of Calderdale Children’s Safeguarding Board and the
Children’s Social Care offer and therefore is comprehensive package across a range of different
levels:
Level 1 – (Foundation) will provide workers with an awareness of a subject and the knowledge
required in undertaking their role. This assumes that the learner will be supported and supervised
and their skills and practice monitored and assessed by others with more experience, knowledge
and skill.
Level 2 – (Intermediate) For those who have completed level 1 or have been assessed as
requiring more detailed knowledge of the subject. This could be due to their role, level of
responsibility or for personal development. Workers should demonstrate how this learning can be
transferred into practice and offer support to others with regard to the subject.
Level 3 – (Advanced) Suitable for those who have completed levels 1 and 2 or have
demonstrated knowledge of the subject. These programmes are for those who due to their role,
level of responsibility or for personal development require specialist subject knowledge and can
use this to impact on service development, improvement of practice, or to meet legislative or
service requirements.
If there are subject areas in which you would like to further develop your knowledge beyond the
scope of the training please contact the WFD Team. We have a range of resources that may be
able to facilitate individual study.
Leoni Craigie, Social Care Workforce Development Officer, can be contacted to advise if you
want to discuss the courses in detail or your particular needs.
