8. SAfH has recently implemented a good range of actions to improve the speed at which learners achieve their qualifications. Learners enjoy learning and gain good work-related skills. SAfH works well with employers to develop and expand provision that meets the needs of local communities. The organisation has established strong partnerships to engage learners from under-represented groups and deprived communities. Good use is made of the specialist knowledge of SAfH to support staff training across the regions. effectiveness

9. Learners enjoy learning and take pride in their work. They develop a good range of workplace and social skills and benefit from their training programmes. They make good progress in the development of caring skills and understanding the needs of those they are caring for. The standard of learners’ work is generally satisfactory, and in some cases good, and this equips learners well for further study or employment…Many learners have progressed on to other courses that further enhance their value in the workplace and their own sense of worth. Outcomes for learners

10. Teaching and learning are satisfactory. Assessors share their extensive, relevant industrial experience in vocational areas with learners and use it well in planning activities related to employment practices. They are skilled motivators, encouraging learners to participate fully both in direct training workshops and workplace activities. The quality and frequency of assessment is varied. Not all learners have regular access to assessment and a few learners have long gaps between assessments… The majority of learners receive useful verbal feedback from assessors on their work; however a few assessors do not sufficiently record details of observed assessments. Planning of learning does not include all aspects of the learner experience. Learners access a wide range of training from their hospital training which is not included in learning plans. Many individual learning plans lack detail and target setting does not clearly identify what the learner needs to do to make progress. Quality of Provision
