***************************************************************************

We are pleased to announce a new strategic partnership between Glendale Academy and the West Midlands Care Association (WMCA). This collaboration is designed to support adult social care providers across the West Midlands by enhancing access to high-quality training, regulatory compliance tools, and robust learning management systems.

A Learning Platform Built for the Sector

Glendale Academy provides a comprehensive Learning Management System (LMS) that has been purpose-built to meet the unique needs of the adult social care sector. The platform offers access to more than 200 CPD-accredited courses, covering a broad range of topics including mandatory training, clinical competencies, safeguarding, leadership, and specialist care areas.

Beyond content delivery, the Glendale LMS also includes a suite of powerful administrative features such as:

● Real-time tracking of training progress

● Automated compliance reports

● Customisable dashboards

● User-friendly interfaces for learners and managers

This enables care providers to streamline their internal processes while demonstrating regulatory compliance to the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and local authorities with confidence.

Why this Partnership Matters? 

The partnership with WMCA reflects a shared commitment to raising standards of care through education and innovation. The care sector continues to face significant challenges, including workforce shortages, rising expectations from regulators, and increasing complexity of care. In this context, access to effective, affordable, and relevant training is more important than ever.

Through this partnership, WMCA members will be empowered to embed a culture of continuous professional development, while benefiting from tools that simplify training management and regulatory oversight.
