What is a care brokerage?

The term ‘Care brokerage’ refers to a section of the care management process.  Essentially, care brokerages provide, at no cost, an independent link between care service providers and local training providers.  As a one-stop shop, we can provide information on funding for training, as well as which training providers offer the services that best meet your needs.

How does it work?

Search our website or contact us directly on 01223 699319 for a comprehensive list of training providers in your area, or by care type.

Why have Brokerages?

The launch of the Regional Skills Strategy for Health and Social Care in 2006 highlighted the critical importance Care Brokerages have in ensuring that employers are able to access funding and provision of quality training.  Skills for Care Eastern, a not-for-profit organisation that aims to improve adult social care services across the whole of England by supporting employers’ workforce development activity, endorse and support the Care Brokerage model.  In addition, the Skills for Care Eastern Regional Committee has established key principals of the governance for Social Care Brokerages.

How do I sign up to receive email updates and newsletters?

How can I share training (and costs) with other care providers?
