  10. Ageing UK Population • In UK number and proportion of older people increasing. • In 1950, only one in ten of the population was aged over 65 now it is one in six and by 2035 it will be one in four. • In 2007, there were about 11.8 million people over the state pension age, making this for the first time a larger group than those aged 16 and under. • There are currently 1.3 million people aged 85 and over in the UK and the ‘oldest old’ is the fastest growing group now making up 2 per cent of the population. This is projected to grow to 3.2 million people by 2033

  11. Education & Training • Still around a third of support staff within the region don’t have a level 2 qualification • Need to maintain CPD • Data shows a statistically and economically significant effect of training on productivity in the UK. An increase of 1% point in the proportion of employees trained is associated with about a 0.6% increase in productivity and a 0.3% increase in wages. (Dearden et al, 2005)

  12. Workforce Mobility • Diesel £1.36 litre, petrol £1.29 litre • Public transport costs rising • Public sector pay freeze for two years • How mobile will workforce remain particularly at lower Agenda for Change pay bands? • Issues in recruiting workforce in some parts of the country

This affects women born on or after 6 April 1950 • Will staff exercise their right to work after retirement age? • Difficult trying to factor it into workforce plans

  15. Competence Approach • Bottom up process • What is the need within the team / department • What are the specific tasks and competencies that are required (Calderdale Framework) • Take those and match to National Occupational Standards, Pathways for Care • Develop from these a job and person specification
