## Description

SCIE will undertake a pilot to test the blended learning approach on 2 of the 12 Tier 2 modules between January 2020 - April 2020\. An iterative approach should be taken to ensure that the language and content is context specific and appropriate for the audience\. This requires: - Training materials explicitly mapped against 2 of the 12 topics that make up the Tier 2 level of the Dementia Framework, based upon a blended learning approach which would include e-learning modules and support resources for training leads or managers \(identified as the preferred approach in the scoping phase\)\. This would take a 'digital first' approach to minimise costs of resources and increase the sustainability of the model\. - Fully tested materials with users \(both staff and managers\) taking an iterative approach to development\. The testing and amending will take a staged approach; starting with one care home with detailed feedback; then five care homes; then twenty care homes\. - Development of additional training materials as required \(where possible, drawing on existing training materials to minimise duplication\) - Evaluation of the training approach - Recommendations for the full training programme development
