New Learning Framework to Support Those Working With LGBTQ+ People in Later Life

Skills for Care has published a new learning framework for working with LGBTQ+ people in later life. It aims to provide a base for identifying the insights, knowledge, understanding and skills that the social care workforce needs to help work affirmatively, inclusively and effectively with individuals from gender and sexually diverse communities.

The framework is intended to be used by social care employers, employees, training providers, regulators, commissioners, policy makers and others. It will help build their own knowledge of LGBTQ+ issues, support colleagues’ understanding, and to create learning programmes which will allow teams to better support LGBTQ+ people in later life.
