Developing an education and training strategy for Children’s Hospices Across London’ (CHaL)

How can Children’s Hospices Across London develop an approach to training that is unified, shared, evidence-based and develops the workforce?

The purpose of this four month project is to develop a draft education and training strategy for the seven Children’s Hospices in London that generates a shared and evidence-based approach, capitalises on existing strengths and facilitates the development of unique competencies and skills in a workforce that deals with children with complex needs and their families. The project is in two phases. Phase one is concerned with scoping existing practice in the hospices, as well as undertaking a comprehensive review of policy, legislation and practice in the search for good practice. Phase two is concerned with working together with education leads in the project hospices to develop the strategy. The essential CQC standards and outcomes are being used to underpin a training matrix.
