Paragon Skills awarded Skills for Care Centre of Excellence
What’s Skills for Care and the Centre of Excellence award?
Established in 2001, Skills for Care is an independent registered charity working with over 21,000 adult social care employers in England to set the standards and qualifications for social care workers. They work with employers, Government, and third-party partners to ensure the Health and Social Care sector has the right people, skills and support required to deliver the highest quality care and support now and in the future.

Being recognised as a Skills for Care Centre of Excellence confirms that we, Paragon Skills, are positioning ourselves as a thought leaders within the Care industry and will continue to demonstrate our commitment to the development of learning and development within the Health and Social Care sector.
What the Centre of Excellence award means?
Our Centre of Excellence endorsement is a bespoke quality mark given to the best learning and development providers within the adult social care sector.
Following an in-depth application process, including an assessment by the endorsement team from Skills for Care, we were required to demonstrate innovation, continual development, and full commitment to the Care Sector. Showing that the training we have delivered has made a significant difference, not only to our apprentices but also to the person accessing care and support.
Our Partnership Director Julie Proctor said:
“It is an triumph for Paragon Skills to have been awarded the Skills for Care Centre of Excellence award. Every member of the Paragon Skills team works incredibly hard to ensure we provide the highest quality Care apprenticeship training”
