The framework was commissioned and funded by the Department of Health and developed in collaboration by our sister organisation Skills for Health and Health Education England (HEE) in partnership with Skills for Care.
The framework sets out the core skills and knowledge which would be transferable and applicable across different types of service provision. It includes expected learning outcomes for training delivery, key policy and legal references and is aligned to related national occupational standards. The aim is to help ensure the quality and consistency of dementia training, and to help prevent unnecessary duplication of training.
