WMCA Care Certificate Training

WMCA now offers regular Care Certificate–focused training to help equip both new and existing staff. All sessions are delivered by our experienced trainers, and members receive reduced rates.

We’ve also partnered with Realise Training and IHSCM to support wider development, and Government funding remains available through the Learning Development Support Service (LDSS).

We welcome member suggestions for future workshops, and we also run weekly DSPT webinars for anyone needing support with the Data Security Protection Toolkit.
