Saving the Social Care Workforce Pathway
Over 30,000 learners were potentially left without a route into social care, but NCFE's intervention came as a lifeline.
For nearly a decade, the landscape for level 3 health and social care had been stable, offering a clear route for adults and apprentices and another for 16-19 learners. However, changes were on the horizon.
In 2023, NCFE identified the need for clear entry pathways into the social care workforce as part of its Sector Spotlight report, highlighting the risks of reducing entry points and the need for action to ensure access to the right courses.
NCFE's Sector Spotlight report addressed the absence of funded, specific qualifications for social care.
A year later, the Department for Education published its post-16 qualification reform review, which would have impacted the social care workforce pathway if not for NCFE's intervention.
Author's summary: NCFE saved social care pathway for 30,000 learners.
