With an Apprenticeship in Social Care, Dianthas aims to

Professionalise social care standing and reputation within society through high-quality education and training.

OUR LATEST OFSTED INSPECTION
Proud of our progress

Our latest Ofsted inspection recognises the progress we have made and the commitment of our apprentices, employers and team to high-quality social care education and training.

“Welcomed, valued and respected”

Ofsted found that apprentices experience an inclusive environment where staff recognise and respond to their individual needs.

“Supportive, approachable and always willing to help”

Apprentices benefit from experienced coaches and can access one-to-one support whenever they need additional help.

“Substantial new knowledge and skills”

Apprentices develop the knowledge, practical skills and confidence they need to succeed at work and apply their learning in the workplace.

“Positive role models in the workplace”

Ofsted reported positive feedback from service users and recognised the contribution apprentices make within the people and communities they support.

Progress that can be seen in the results

Ofsted found that most apprentices achieve their apprenticeship, including those with barriers to learning, with just under three quarters achieving merits or distinctions in their final assessments. Retention and achievement have also improved across almost all apprenticeships following actions taken by leaders.
