Our Introduction to social care offer is changing

Our Introduction to social care training programme is changing. 

We’re launching a self-guided programme that takes you through everything you need to know to begin working in social care.

Learn at your own pace as you work through eight themes, with opportunities to complete related modules on the Social Care Wales website.

You’ll learn about:

  • what social care is
  • the Code of Professional Practice
  • communication
  • keeping people safe
  • supporting well-being
  • the Welsh language
  • qualities and values
  • preparing for work.

But we’re still here if you need us. Once a month, you can join an awareness session to ask any questions you might have and get an overview of our Introduction to social care offer.
