Bespoke self-paced training. Built around your organisation.
Commission practical, organisation-specific online learning through SCSkills OnDemand. We develop tailored courses and workforce learning pathways for children’s social care providers, with CPD accreditation incorporated into the commissioning process. A growing library of ready-made courses complements our bespoke offer.
Bespoke online training, created for your workforce.
We work with children’s homes, supported accommodation providers and other children’s social care organisations to design self-paced learning that reflects their services, policies, procedures and practice priorities. Each commission begins with your learning needs, not an off-the-shelf course.
What we can develop
- Organisation-specific induction and onboarding programmes
- Training based on your policies, procedures and safeguarding arrangements
- Specialist practice and role-specific modules
- Leadership, management and quality assurance learning
- Structured pathways from induction through continuing professional development
Designed for practice
Depending on your requirements, courses can include realistic scenarios, interactive learning, knowledge checks, reflective activities and completion evidence. We agree the learning objectives, content, review process, accreditation and learner access arrangements with you.
Self-paced modules can also complement live seminars, supervision and wider workforce development programmes.
Bespoke learning with CPD accreditation.
SCSkills holds accredited organisation status. CPD accreditation is part of our bespoke course development offer, supporting recognised professional learning while keeping course content specific to your organisation.
Individual bespoke courses will be described as accredited once the relevant course approval has been completed. Accreditation scope and arrangements are confirmed during commissioning.
Ready-made learning, alongside bespoke development.
Alongside bespoke course development, SCSkills OnDemand is building a library of structured self-paced learning without requiring you to attend a scheduled training session. Explore practical courses that connect knowledge with the situations, decisions and responsibilities encountered in real social care practice.
