The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make it his policy to introduce standardised training for staff working in social care.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

Enhancing skills for staff working in social care is of critical importance, and we want care to be both personalised and of outstanding quality. We are currently reviewing our approach and will work with the sector and other interested organisations, such as the recently announced Skills England, to agree on the right approach.
