Our Programmes

The National Skills Academy is an employer-led organisation driving forward a national focus on the critical skills of leadership, management and commissioning in the adult social care sector.

Created by employers, for employers, from across adult social care and developed with partners in the sector, the National Skills Academy’s role is to aid the delivery of improved care, in response to the needs of employers, employees and people who use services, by supporting and promoting excellent learning and training in social care in England.

The Academy has a clear remit in helping deliver the transformation of adult social care. As the population ages and demands of person-centred services have an impact on traditional methods of care provision, the Academy will aim to ensure that training and learning in the sector keeps apace in responding to these changes.

By doing this, we aim to equip employers and employees with the skills they need, to deliver excellent care to people who use services.
