FoundationPeople is a leading case management and workforce management solution widely used in the UK’s public sector, particularly within social care, education, and health services.

By focusing on business process improvement, project management, and software-specific competencies, learners gain the technical proficiency required to support digital transformation initiatives in care and education sectors.
The demand for skilled practitioners who can effectively deploy and manage case management systems is rising as UK local authorities and NHS trusts continue their digital maturity journeys.
