Learning and Development

A Learning & Development Toolkit for the whole of the mental health workforce across both health & social care

This Learning and Development Toolkit:

• demonstrates the benefits of an effective learning and development programme;
• provides a clear sense of what the current learning and development issues and priorities are;
• lists the contemporary learning and development guidance and materials;
• outlines a hierarchy of learning and development; and
• provides a sense of what is coming round the corner in the immediate future, including future learning materials and guidance.

This Toolkit will enable local health and social care organisations to develop their own learning and development strategy to meet the needs of service users and carers, staff and their employers – a strategy which links with commissioners and providers of learning and development, underpinned by the key national documents.
