Social Care Wales Workforce Development Programme (SCWWDP)

Gwynedd social care workforce development team supports training and development opportunities for the sector.

The team administers the Social Care Wales Workforce Development Partnership (SCWWDP) Grant in order to provide training and development opportunities for the Authority’s social care workforce as well as the wider Social Care Partnership within Gwynedd.

Membership of the SCWWDP Partnership consists of the local authority, independent and third  sector, social care providers (domiciliary and residential), and partners who collaborate to support the sector develop a workforce which is appropriately skilled and qualified to meet the requirements of Social Care Wales. Training is also offered to unpaid carers (relatives or friends caring for people at home) and personal assistants (direct payment sector).

Focus is given to key supported priority areas are as noted within the Social Care Wales Annual Circular.

You can actively participate in planning our training programme by returning your Training Needs Analysis annually

During the year it may be necessary to amend the plan as a result of changes to legislation, policies or service priorities, therefore from time to time we will be issuing new and additional information relating to courses

We are eager to hear from you about any additional training and development needs you may have or comments about the provision
