1 Apprenticeships in adult social care 2016/17 Skills for Care analysis of Education and Skills Funding Agency data March 2018

2 This report describes the number of adult social care apprenticeships which were started and participated in during 2016/17. This includes the adult social care pathways of the Health and Social Care framework and the Care Leadership and Management framework, as well as the more recently launched Adult Care Worker and Lead Adult Care Worker standards. The report covers factors such as apprenticeship level, demographics, regional make-up, trend analysis, end of year outcomes and comparisons to other frameworks in order to provide context. It should be of interest to workforce planners, training providers, social care employers, government bodies, policy makers and anyone with an interest in social care apprenticeships. Apprenticeship starts There were 91,630 adult social care apprenticeships starts in 2016/17. An increase of 4% from 2015/16. There were more starts in adult social care than any other apprenticeship. The adult social care pathways of the Health and Social Care framework received 86,100 starts, Care Leadership and Management received 12,300, Adult Care Worker received 460 and Lead Adult Care Worker received 280. The market share of social care apprenticeships increased from 14% in 2012/13 to 19% in 2016/17. The average age of a social care apprentice was 35 years old when they started. Participation There were around 170,500 apprentices participating in the adult social care workforce throughout 2016/17. In any given month there were around 90,000 apprentices participating in the workforce. Social care apprenticeship participation increased by 4% in 2016/17 compared to the previous year. Apprenticeship outcomes Around 70% of apprentices that finished their apprenticeship in 2016/17 had achieved their learning aim, up from 60% in 2015/16. London had the highest achievement rate (74%) and the North West had the lowest (68%).

4 1. Introduction Apprenticeships are periods of paid employment that include on and off-the-job training combined with studying for recognised qualifications. Under the reformed system of apprenticeship standards it is no longer mandatory to include qualifications, although there are required qualifications in the adult social care standards. An apprenticeship can be undertaken as a means to gain knowledge and skills specific to a sector of employment or as a valuable programme of training in its own right 1. The training undertaken as part of an apprenticeship is tailored to the sector of employment and is separated into frameworks and standards. A person interested in becoming an apprentice in the adult social care sector could start on either the adult social care pathways of the Health and Social Care framework for learning at levels 2 and 3, or the Care Leadership and Management framework at level 5. Due to a major government reform of apprenticeships, the current system of frameworks is being replaced by standards. On the 29 December 2017, the Health and Social Care framework was closed to new starters. The Care Leadership and Management framework will continue to accept new registrations until 31 August After these dates there will be no more enrolments in these frameworks but those currently in learning will continue towards their learning aim. Four occupational titles are the subject of the new apprenticeship standards: Adult Care Worker (level 2) Launched in December 2016 Lead Adult Care Worker (level 3) Launched in December 2016 Lead Practitioner in Adult Care (level 4) Currently under government review Leader in Adult Care (level 5) Currently under government review The standards are documents summarising the occupation and listing the skills, knowledge and behaviours needed to be competent in that role. At the end of their learning apprentices will go through an end point assessment where they will be tested through a situational judgement test (multiple choice) followed by a professional discussion. This end point assessment must be carried out by an organisation independent from the training provider and employer. At the end of the process, successful apprentices will receive a graded outcome of pass, merit or distinction. 1

5 These changes were designed by adult social care employers acting as part of the Trailblazer initiative, together with representatives of awarding organisations and learning providers, and were supported through the process by Skills for Care backed by the Department for Health and Social Care. The Trailblazer group has now evolved into the Care Apprenticeship Board (CAB). This will welcome membership from any care service provider. One reason it was created was to oversee the employer-led solution to external quality assurance (EQA) of the end-point assessment phase of the apprenticeships. Skills for Care is named as the executive service provider undertaking the EQA and reporting the results to CAB. The Skills for Care service is called the Adult Care Apprenticeships External Quality Assurance Service (ACEQUAS). Funding for apprenticeships is also changing. Apprentices starting on the new standards will be funded either through the use of the new apprenticeship levy for employers who are required to pay this, or through a co-funded model for non-levy paying employers Apprenticeship levy In April 2017 the apprenticeship levy was launched. Employers with a payroll over 3 million are required to pay a monthly tax of 0.5% of the payroll amount over the 3 million threshold. The payments are made into a Digital Apprenticeship Service account controlled by the employer and supplemented by a 10% contribution from the Government. Providers of apprenticeships to the employer are paid through this account and unused funds in the account expire after two years. Based on an average take home pay of 15,000 per annum for a worker in the adult social care sector, employers with a workforce of 200 or more are subject to the apprenticeships levy. Skills for Care estimate this equates to around 750 employers across England. Non-levy paying employers have access to co-funding arrangements for apprenticeship learning in which the employer pays 10% of the cost and 90% is paid for by the Government. Likewise, if there are insufficient funds for an apprenticeship in a levy-paying employers account, the Government will fund 90% of the costs. The funding provided by the Government is capped depending on which funding band (1 to 15) the apprenticeship is grouped within. Both the Adult Care Worker and Lead Adult Care Worker standards are in funding band 4 which is capped at 3,000. In addition, the Government will also provide 1,000 to the employer and 1,000 to the training provider of an apprenticeship if they train a person aged 16 to 18, or a person aged 19 to 24 leaving care or who has a Local Authority Education and Healthcare plan. If an employer has fewer than 50 employees, all of the training costs will be covered for these individuals.

6 2. Apprenticeship starts Starts refer to the number of programmes that begin in the academic year from 1 August to 31 July. This measure is helpful in determining the take-up of adult social care apprenticeships. An apprentice is counted for each apprenticeship they start. 91,630 adult social care apprenticeship starts in 2016/17 Adult social care apprenticeships had the largest market share of all apprenticeships. Starts by age Up to to and above 26% 50% 24% 2.1. Number of apprentice starts Adult social care starts, including those on the adult social care pathways of the Health and Social Care framework, the Care Leadership and Management framework, the Adult Care Worker standard and the Lead Adult Care Worker standard, totalled around 91,630 in 2016/17 (19% of all apprenticeships). The vast majority of these were on the adult social care pathways of the Health and Social Care framework (86%). Table 2.1 shows the number of starts of adult social care apprenticeship frameworks and standards between 2012/13 and 2016/17. The adult social care pathways have continued to account for the majority of starts in the Health and Social Care framework rising from 87% in 2012/13 to 91% in 2016/17. The Care Leadership and Management framework, launched in 2012/13, has shown a year on year increase of apprenticeship starts, rising by 23% this year compared to 2015/16. The only decrease shown over time was in 2013/14. This followed a change in policy by the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) from August 2013 funding for apprentices aged 24 years or older was available only in the form of loans. This funding system was subsequently removed for apprentices in February 2014 after a fall in the number of starts in this age group. It is likely that this explains at least some of the decrease in the number of apprenticeship starts in 2013/14 and therefore the increase in 2014/15 when this loan scheme was no longer in place.

7 510,200 73, ,400 65, ,900 86, ,400 87, ,900 90,900 There were around 460 starts in the Adult Care Worker standard and around 280 in the Lead Adult Care Worker. The standards were approved in July 2016 and the first starts were registered in October 2016 therefore current uptake appears much lower than the established frameworks. As the transition into standards progresses it is expected these will grow in the coming years.

8 2.2. Comparison between apprenticeship frameworks Table 2.1 showed that adult social care accounted for 19% of all apprenticeship starts in 2016/17. Table 2.2 compares the five largest apprenticeships by programme level. Health and Social Care accounted for around a fifth of intermediate/advanced apprenticeships, almost twice that of the next highest framework, Business Administration. Care Leadership and Management starts made up 34% of all higher apprenticeship starts in 2016/17, accounting for more starts than any other higher apprenticeship. Both of these frameworks have consistently had the highest number of starts at the respective levels over the past five years. Table 2.2: Apprenticeship starts in social care against the other largest frameworks Intermediate/Advanced Higher All apprenticeships 458,400 All apprenticeships 36,600 Health and Social Care 86,120 19% Care Leadership and Management 12,300 34% Business Administration 43,800 10% Management 10,490 29% Management 36,200 8% Business Administration 2,880 8% Children's Care Learning and Development Hospitality and Catering 25,330 6% 27,200 6% Accountancy 1,240 3% IT and Telecoms Professionals 990 3% 2.3. Apprenticeship starts by age The majority of starts in adult social care apprenticeships in 2016/17 were people aged 25 to 44 (50%), followed by those aged up to 24 (24%) and those aged 45 and over (26%). This age profile was notably older than that of all frameworks in which the majority of starts were aged up to 24 (54%). The average age of an apprentice when they started in an adult social care framework was 35 years old.

9 Those aged 45 and above represented a higher proportion of adult social care starts in 2016/17 compared to the previous academic year with this age group accounting for three percentage points more in both the adult social care pathways and the Care Leadership and Management framework. The Care Leadership and Management framework had an older age profile than the adult social care pathway. This would be expected as this framework is at a higher academic level and it is generally expected that people starting an apprenticeship on the Care Leadership and Management framework have had experience working in a care setting. The average age of learners at the start of this apprenticeship was 39 years old. These age profile were in line with the adult social care workforce as a whole in which the average age was 43 years old in 2016/17 2. Since 2014/15 adult social care apprenticeship starts aged under 25 have fallen by five percentage points. In 2016/17 those aged 45 and above accounted for more adult social care apprentices than those aged under Apprenticeship starts by level Table 2.3 compares adult social care framework starts to all frameworks by apprenticeship level. The adult social care pathways of the Health and Social Care framework is offered at intermediate or advanced level while Care Leadership and Management is only offered at higher level. Adult social care standards are not shown here as these have separate programme levels.

10 Starts at the intermediate level have accounted for the most adult social care apprenticeships in each year (45% in 2016/17), although their lead has been decreasing over time in favour of starts at the advanced level (42% in 2016/17). Higher apprenticeship starts showed the highest increase of four percentage points since 2014/15. This pattern was also noticeable across all apprenticeships between 2014/15 and 2016/17. The new apprenticeship standards of Adult Care Worker and Lead Adult Care Worker are not classified in the same way as frameworks. The Adult Care Worker standard will qualify an apprentice to level two, Lead Adult Care Worker to level three, and upcoming standards of Lead Practitioner in Adult Care and Leader in Adult Care will qualify an apprentice to levels four and five respectively. More information on requirements and outcomes of the adult care standards is available from Institute for Apprenticeships at Demographics of apprenticeship starters In 2016/17 around 18% of all adult social care apprenticeship starts were by people from a Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) background, and diversity has been increasing since 2014/15. Starts in the Care Leadership and Management framework were a more ethnically diverse group (22% BAME) than those who started the adult social care pathways (17%). This proportion was similar to the adult social care workforce where 20% of jobs are filled by BAME workers 3. Both adult social care frameworks and the adult care standards had a higher diversity than all apprenticeships (11% BAME).

11 The majority of adult social care apprenticeship starts were female (84%), although males had a higher representation in Care Leadership and Management (20%) than in the adult social care pathways of the Health and Social Care framework (16%). This was similar to the adult social care workforce as a whole, where 82% of workers were female. Across all apprenticeships, females (53%) held a slightly a slightly higher proportion of starts than males, but this gender split was much closer than in adult social care Apprenticeship starts by region Adult social care apprenticeship starts showed a similar regional distribution to the estimated number of adult social care jobs. Table 2.4 shows the largest proportion of adult social care apprenticeship starts in 2016/17 were delivered in the North West (16%) and the least were delivered in the North East (7%). The difference between the proportion of jobs and the proportion of apprenticeship starts shows an under-representation in London and the South East, whereas over-representation is spread throughout many of the other regions, noting the North West and West Midlands in particular. The accompanying image below shows the divisions between over- and under-representation across England in 2016/17.

13 3. Participation 170,500 people participated in social care apprenticeships in 2016/17 Average of 90,300 active adult social care apprentices per month, 4% more than 2015/16 Adult social care apprentices accounted for 19% all participants Participation refers to the number of individual people who are undertaking an apprenticeship throughout the academic year. These figures include any apprenticeships which were started during the academic year as well as those carried over from previous years. An apprentice studying towards more than one apprenticeship is counted once Number of participating apprentices Around 170,500 people participated in an adult social care apprenticeship at some point during the 2016/17 academic year which was an increase of 4% since 2015/16, and this was greater than the increase of 1% across all apprenticeships. Adult social care apprentices accounted for 19% of all participating apprentices during 2016/17, a proportion that has been increasing steadily since 2014/15. Care Leadership and Management showed the most growth between years at 23%.

This equates to between 49% and 64% of all who participated in 2016/17 being in learning at any given time.

14 Chart 3.1 below shows that participation was at its highest in April 2017, which coincides with the peak in apprenticeship starts, although throughout the year there was little difference in participation compared to 2015/16.

As with the distribution of starts, the majority of apprentices were at the intermediate level (45%) in 2016/17. This majority has decreased over time in favour of the advanced level, and participation in higher apprenticeships has also increased. Table 3.2 Adult social care apprenticeship participation by level, 2014/15 to 2016/17 Adult social care frameworks 2014/ / /17 Participants 150, , ,800 Intermediate 77,200 77,600 76,000 Advanced 60,600 68,100 72,300 Higher 12,600 17,500 21,500 % Intermediate 51% 48% 45% Advanced 40% 42% 43% Higher 8% 11% 13% 3.3. Demographics of participating apprentices Participation figures reflect the cumulative starts over recent years so the demographics of participating adult social care apprentices were similar to the proportions for apprenticeship starts. There was little to no difference in the breakdown of Apprenticeship participation compared with starts in terms of programme level, age, gender, ethnicity or regional make-up (see section 2.4 and 2.5 for breakdown of Apprenticeship starts in 2016/17).

15 4. Apprenticeship outcomes 86,600 adult social care apprenticeships completed in 2016/17. 60,900 achieved learning aim. Average time in learning: Adult social care pathway: 13 months Care Leadership and Management: 15 months Learning aim achieved: 57% 60% 70% 14/15 15/16 16/17 This chapter summarises the outcomes of apprentices participating in an adult social care framework as described in chapter 3 during the 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17 academic years in terms of whether the apprentice had finished learning, taken a break from learning or were actively continuing their apprenticeship into the following academic year. As the adult social care standards were launched in December 2016, they were excluded from this section Apprenticeship participation and final outcome Section 3 reported that around 169,800 people participated in an adult social care apprenticeship framework at some point during the 2016/17 academic year (excluding adult social care standards). Table 4.1 shows that over half of these (51%) finished their learning programme within the year whilst the majority of the remaining participants were continuing into the next year (45%) and a small minority were taking a break from learning (4%). The proportion of apprenticeships that finished having achieved their learning aim was higher for the adult social care pathways of Health and Social Care (71%) than for Care Leadership and Management (61%). Table 4.1: Adult social care apprenticeship outcome within academic year Values have been rounded.

16 Chart 4.1 shows how these proportions have changed between 2014/15 and 2016/17. Across both frameworks, the proportion of finishing apprentices has increased although the change was greater in the adult social care pathways (up 12 percentage points) than the Care Leadership and Management framework (up seven percentage points).

Apprenticeships that finished during the academic year Table 4.2 shows the outcomes of apprenticeships that finished over time. Since 2014/15 the proportion of adult social care apprenticeships that finished where the participant had achieved their learning aim has increased by 13 percentage points. Withdrawal accounted for around a quarter of adult social care apprenticeships that finished in 2016/17, although this has been decreasing over time, down by nine percentage points compared to the previous year. The proportion of apprentices transferring to either a new programme or provider remained low at 4%, similar to previous years. Those that finished without achieving their learning aim (<1%) were consistently the lowest group.

Achievements were highest for the adult social care pathways in London (76%) and lowest in the East Midlands (69%). Care Leadership and Management showed a greater range between regions from the highest rate in the West Midlands (70%) and lowest in the North East (52%). Chart 4.2 Proportion that achieved learning aim by region 100% 75% 50% 25% 0% England Eastern East Midlands London Adult social care pathways North East North West South East South West Care Leadership and Management West Yorkshire Midlands and the Humber The growth in achievements also varied between regions. London, which had the highest proportion of achievements in 2016/17, showed the highest increase since 2014/15 (up 21 percentage points) when the region had the lowest proportion of achievers. The North West, where achievements rates were lowest, had the lowest increase in achievers since 2014/15 (up seven percentage points) although this effect was only shown in the adult social care pathways of Health and Social whilst Care Leadership and Management showed above average growth in this region Adult social care apprentices who achieved their learning aim during 2016/17 The average length of time spent in learning for those that achieve their learning aim in 2016/17 was 403 days (13 months), which was slightly longer than 386 days on average that were planned. Those that achieved their aim in Care Leadership and Management spent on average 16% longer in learning, at around 15 months in total, than those from the adult social care pathways of Health and Social Care framework which took around 13 months. Compared to the demographics of those starting adult social care apprenticeships in 2016/17, there was little difference in the age, gender or ethnicity of those that achieved their learning aim.

18 4.4. Apprentices continuing with apprenticeship after 2016/17 Table 4.1 showed that 45% of participating adult social care apprentices in 2016/17 were actively continuing with their apprenticeship at the end of the academic year. Table 4.4 shows the academic year in which the planned end date falls for these apprentices. Around a quarter had planned to end within that academic year (23%).

Achievement rates from Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) Please note that the number of achievers and the percentage with aim achieved in this report should not be directly compared to achievement rates published by the ESFA. The figures shown in this report are based on the outcome of apprentices with an actual end date within the academic year. The ESFA apply several additional filters for their achievement rates, such as whether the apprenticeship was funded by ESFA, excluding withdrawals for certain reasons from the calculations and academic years are assigned using the latest of the actual end date and planned end date. The Education and Skills Funding Agency headline achievement rates are provided here to allow for comparison between achievement rates in health and social care and achievement rates in all frameworks. Adult social care apprenticeship achievement rates were slightly lower than across all apprenticeships.
