Autism is much more common than many people think. There are around 700,000 people on the autistic spectrum in the UK, more than 1 in 100. This means that, including families, autism affects 2.8m people.
But, despite the high number of individuals that are likely to have the condition, many of us have a poor understanding of autism and what it actually means for both the individual and those who work and live with them.

What is the Care Act 2014? It sets out local authorities’ duties in assessing people’s needs and eligibility for publicly funded support and care. Assessment and eligibility form a crucial part of this. The procedure allows people to understand their situation and access the right support at the right time. It’s a critical intervention in its own right and the key interaction between the individual and their local authority.
The Care Act 2016 updates the Care Act 2014, which was introduced to ensure a person-centred approach to care planning as a legal requirement for local authorities. An awareness of the principles of the Care Act is crucial for you if you’re working in any role in health and social care.
As we live longer, care is becoming a greater burden on carers and professional providers. To lighten the load and provide better, more tailored care at the same time, the idea of person-centred care has become key to care and support planning.
The Care Act 2014 (along with its subsequent updates) provides a single legal framework for charging for care and support. It enables local authorities to decide whether or not to charge a person for their care and support needs or for a carer’s support needs.
The new Care Act assessment framework has been designed to make charging fairer and more clearly understood by everyone. Understanding it properly is essential if you work with people in need, whether in the public, private or charity sectors.
Deferring payment can help people to delay the need to sell their home (or other assets) and provide peace of mind during a time that can be challenging (or even a crisis point) for them and their loved ones as they make the transition into residential care. This course covers all you need to know about this process.
Local authorities have a duty to inform the person which, if any, of their needs may be met by a direct payment and provide appropriate information and advice on how to use and manage direct payments.
This course covers direct payments, how they can be set up and a range of considerations around the subject.
The aim of the duty to provide independent advocacy is to enable people who have substantial difficulty in being involved in these local authority processes to be supported in that involvement as fully as possible, and where necessary to be represented by an advocate who speaks on their behalf.
This e-learning course covers all of the key points surrounding Independent Advocacy, providing learners with a sound knowledge of the topic.
Information is everything. If you’re working to enable people, carers and families to take control of their care and support; and make well-informed choices about it, having the right information available is crucial.
The right information and advice increases the ability to exercise choice and control. It is therefore a vital component in preventing or delaying the need for care and support which can give people a better quality of life for longer; and it’s crucial in delivering a duty of care in health and social care when people need it.
Integration has been a cornerstone of public policy, particularly across health and social care for many years.
Integration, cooperation and partnership are now a legal requirement for local authorities and should be a priority for all agencies involved in public care, thanks to Care Act 2014 safeguarding guidelines.
How much do you know about the Care Act? The Act, which was established in 2014, sets out local authorities’ duties in assessing people’s needs and funding and support eligibility. It’s a crucial consideration for anyone looking to understand the modern provision of care.
This course provides an comprehensive introduction to, and an overview of, part one of the Care Act 2014 guidance. It’s designed to help you understand and implement the Act if you’re involved in care and support services.
Everyone whose needs are met by the local authority, whether those needs are eligible, or if the authority has chosen to meet other needs, must receive a personal budget as part of the care and support plan, or support plan.
The local authority is under an ongoing duty to keep the person’s plan under review generally, and to ensure that their needs continue to be met. Plans are reviewed periodically, involving the person concerned and agreeing any necessary changes.
Learn about the different reviews and care and support plans with this short, informative course.
Growing up is hard. Within the Care Act, the term “transition” is used to refer to the progression from childhood to adulthood. It’s an essential part of human life and experience and the transition to adulthood (t2a) can be a time of celebration and change.
But it can also be a huge challenge for young people, especially as the world has changed so much for them from the one which their parents or families grew up in.
2014’s Care Act legislation saw a number of previous laws replaced with one, clearer, more comprehensive act.
Comprising of 12 modules, it can be a daunting subject to learn about – that’s why we’ve developed a series of e-learning modules to break it down and make it easier to consume.
The Care Certificate was introduced in order to raise the standard of care of elderly and vulnerable people in our society. It set out a 15-standard programme of care training for care workers, replacing the Common Induction Standards (CIS) and the National Minimum Training Standards (NMTS).
In this training suite, you’ll get all the theoretical knowledge you need to underpin the practical demonstration elements of your care certificate standards training or social worker training.
