Resources
The Council has a Workforce Development Service for its social services function The delivery of the
SCWDP is part of the remit for this service Wrexham County Borough Council continues to invest
in the training and development of the workforce as they see this as a priority area This links to the
‘Organisation’ element of the Council Plan “to build an eficient and efective organisation that can best
support local well-being”
The indicative training support programme from the Social Care Wales is £441,696 Wrexham is one
of the few Local Authorities who continue to invest additional resources to support the grant over and
above its mandatory 30%
Collaborative Working Arrangements and Emerging Best
Practice which support skills for frontline social care workers
As the Council re shapes its services to respond to financial pressures and changing needs there are
opportunities to improve eficiencies and explore further collaboration in workforce development across
North Wales
The social care sector is a diverse sector and local needs may vary Training delivery needs to be able to
respond to this and consider what can be done locally, regionally and sub-regionally
4Social Care Workforce Development Local Plan for Wrexham 2021 - 2022
HR & OD Service Workforce Development
It is necessary to take account of the following in developing the appropriate delivery model:
y Social Services and Well-Being (Wales) Act 2014
y Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016
y Regional/sub regional services and their access to Workforce Development
y The provision of specialist training to small groups including Social Workers
y Response to government policy initiatives or new legislation
y Eficiencies using the purchasing power of several Local Authorities
y Partnerships with other training providers in particular Coleg Cambria and Glyndŵr
y The Council Plan and priorities “to build an eficient and efective organisation that can best
support local well-being”
y The Corporate Organisational Development Workforce Strategy (ODWS)
Partnership Working
Collaboration depends on the needs of the workforce In Wrexham our focus has been to support
the sector with delivery of the All Wales Induction Framework (AWIF) and embed the new Health &
Social Care qualifications Having primarily targeted domiciliary providers, we are also encompassing
the residential services, to prepare them for mandatory registration in 2022 We continue to arrange
information events for sector managers Our intention is to support the further development of work-
based Learning and Development Representatives across all services, for them to lead on the delivery
and coordination of training and development within their own teams
Communities at Work
Our partnership working with Communities at Work continues, although Covid-19, has delayed delivery
of the “Introduction to a career in Health and Social Care” programme to unemployed people in
Wrexham Our partners at Communities at Work have confirmed continuing interest from individuals
living in Wrexham to attend this course It is hoped that easing of restrictions will enable us to reschedule
dates for delivery, and ultimately help us to continue supporting much needed recruitment within the
social care sector
Learning and Development Representatives
We intend to adapt the ‘Introduction to Trainer Skills’ programme so that we are able to deliver
the training via virtual platforms This will help to increase the number of L&D Representatives at
5Social Care Workforce Development Local Plan for Wrexham 2021 - 2022
HR & OD Service Workforce Development
management and senior levels to gain the relevant skills to deliver in-house training and better support
their staf through the induction process It will enable more provider services to become self-suficient in
meeting some of their own training needs
For those Learning and Development Representatives who have already completed the Introduction to
Trainer Skills, we have taken a “Train the Trainer” approach to introduce them to training programmes,
such as medication administration During each session, the L&D Representatives are introduced
to the resources and tools they will use to deliver their own in-house training These virtual sessions
will continue to be ofered throughout the year, and priority will be given to staf training needs
communicated to us by the L&D Representatives
New qualifications
We have planned the delivery of the new core qualification and the teaching elements that are required
as a key part of the qualification In response, the assessment team have developed a range of teaching
resources to cover individual elements within the core qualification These consist of short presentations
and accompanying activities to support and evidence learning It is intended for assessors to deliver
these short sessions (approximately 1 hour in duration) to small groups of learners undertaking the
qualification This will promote peer learning although delivery to individual learners will also be ofered
The sessions cover all aspects of the core qualification including relevant legislation and national
policies, Code of Professional Practice, rights based approaches, advocacy, Welsh language and culture,
communication, well-being, pressure care, personal care, end of life care, nutrition and hydration,
medication administration, sensory loss, dementia, professional practice, safeguarding and health and
safety within social care
A similar approach will be taken with delivery of the Level 4 Preparing for Leadership and Management
qualification, this will consist of a more structured programme to accommodate the higher level of
learning, which is required at level 4 The programme will consist of a set number of days for delivery,
over a planned timescale of approximately 18 months The taught sessions will cover all elements of the
qualification and will accommodate guided learning for participants to develop knowledge and skills,
which will prepare them for the assessment tasks they will be required to complete
We continue our involvement in the “We Care” group, promoting the Social Care Wales project which
aims to improve recruitment and retention across the Social Care sector We will build on ‘We Care’
week initiative which took place in November 2020 We took part in a film to promote social care careers,
a range of individuals took part including Social Worker, Care Practitioners, Occupational Therapists and
a Manual Handling Advisor
All Wales Induction Framework and registration of Adult Residential Care workforce
In the same way as we supported the domiciliary sector, Workforce Development will continue to
use a number of avenues to inform and support residential managers to prepare staf for mandatory
registration and to fully implement the All Wales Induction Framework This will include attending
relevant provide forums, facilitating briefing sessions and workshops and providing information, such as
6Social Care Workforce Development Local Plan for Wrexham 2021 - 2022
HR & OD Service Workforce Development
the “Guidance for Managers” document we have produced We fully understand the current pressures
that exist because of Covid-19 and the impact this is having on service priorities, so a sensitive approach
will be taken to engage with and support managers over the coming months
Autism
We are working as part of the Welsh Government Workforce Stakeholders consulting on the Code of
Practice on the Delivery of Autism Services (Section 3 - Training) to develop a clear guidance and define
responsibilities of Local Authorities and Health Boards regarding understanding, knowledge and skills
of the people they employ We have developed Autism training following feedback and collaborative
working with Autistic individuals and those who support Autistic individuals in the Wrexham area
Social Work Degree Partnership
Wrexham invests in the Partnership by employing a Staf Development and Training Oficer whose
responsibilities include co-ordination of Practice Learning Opportunities This is seen as a partnership
responsibility, creating opportunities for a sub-regional approach to meet students’ needs
The six leads for each North Wales Local Authority meet regularly to discuss SW education across the
whole sector to ensure a consistent approach, share good practice and respond to identified regional
need We have successfully worked with Bangor and Glyndŵr Universities to develop local (i e North
Wales) provision for Practice Educator qualifications
WCBC is part of a partnership with Chester University to provide Specialist Mental Health training and
qualifications alongside other North Wales LA
We continue to support social workers across the sector to access qualifications, with particular
emphasis on the Graduate Certificate in Social Work Practice, which is now a mandatory requirement of
ongoing registration We have facilitated a “First Year in Practice” group to support newly qualified staf,
as part of our commitment to Social Care Wales “The First Three Years in Practice” Framework We have
been part of the development of a regional approach to common learning outcomes for this group of
staf
Family Group Meetings
We will be working with the children’s sector to develop the ofer of Family Group Meetings to help
families find their own solutions to problems We will be ofering training to our partners to enable them
to conduct successful family meetings in the non-statutory arena thus, hopefully, reducing the need for
statutory child protection interventions

These modules can be used as refreshers or as part of a blended approach to learning, providing some
knowledge on legislation and theory before undertaking more practical learning
We will continue to implement virtual methods of learning and ofer development sessions via zoom,

Social Work Qualifying Training – Social Work Degree – Supported
Employees
Two employees are currently completing the OU Degree in Social Work, one due to qualify in December
2022 and the other in December 2023 They will be allocated social work roles and will be “matched”
with appropriate practice learning opportunities for levels 2 and 3 They are contracted to remain in their
allocated roles for a two-year period
The Council has committed to spend in excess of £30k to support this training The costs include
University fees and related expenses, as well as financial support for staf replacement The scheme will
be reviewed with both Children’s and Adults services, and we hope to sponsor at least one individual
to commence training this year Consideration will also be given to support individuals currently
engaged with the Degree as “Open” students (i e non sponsored) This year we have also been able to
support students from Universities outside our formally agreed arrangements to further increase our
opportunities to develop the existing workforce, recruit and retain Social Workers

The Council continues to be committed to high quality Practice Learning Opportunities for Social
Work students, and continues to support up to 45 “hosted” students across each level of training
under partnership arrangements with Glyndŵr University Despite the challenges experienced by the
workforce this year, interest in relevant Practice Assessment qualifications has increased alongside
the revised WCBC Social Work job descriptions, supported by applications from the independent and
voluntary sector These all contribute to the range and breadth of learning opportunities available for
students Ongoing commitment to this process can promote skills development for employees, and
gives opportunities for practitioners to gain currency in relation to National Occupational Standards,

Codes of Professional Practice and theoretical perspectives It also creates a network of experienced
practitioners able to support and assess others for the range of post qualification awards The role of
practice Educator has now been removed as an essential element of career progression, so we will need
to monitor any impact of this on our partnership responsibilities and career development
Recruitment of newly qualified staf to permanent and “sessional” positions remains steady, and HR
Workforce Oficers continue to link in with hosted students at each level to promote the council as an
employer

Wales (SCW) “First 3 Years in Practice” document In order to support the newly qualified workforce with
the challenges of this year, our “1st year in Practice” Group piloted last year has increased the frequency
of meetings from quarterly to monthly
The “Porth Agored” Graduate Certificate in Consolidation of Social Work Practice
Developed with the University of Wales Trinity St David’s, this has been available since May 2013, with
Cohorts 16/17 recently registered Partners have been made aware of the formal link with Registration

opportunities Support from our partner agencies has been particularly welcome, with the ofer of a
14Social Care Workforce Development Local Plan for Wrexham 2021 - 2022

placement from Flintshire to support candidates in EDT Interest in the “pre AMHP” module remains
healthy, however due to the dificulties accessing appropriate practice opportunities, applications for
further AMHP and pre AMHP training are on hold until our current student’s situation is resolved We will
potentially need to increase our investment in these programmes once this is achieved
This plan and the training brochure is available on the Internet at:
