We're proud to have played our part, along with so many others from the #Health and #SocialCare sector, in helping Skills for Care to develop a new Workforce Strategy for Adult Social Care. The strategy aims to improve the quality of roles in adult social care, ensuring that the sector can attract and keep enough people with the right skills and values to provide the best possible care and support. A key highlight for us is the recommendation that all social care staff should have dementia training aligned to the Dementia Training Standards Framework. This marks a notable step forward for dementia care in England. So, our joint message to the new government and local decision makers is clear. Make dementia the priority it needs and deserves to be, implement this workforce strategy, introduce mandatory dementia training for the care workforce and make a huge difference in the lives of people living with dementia.
For the first time ever the adult social care sector has come together to develop the Workforce Strategy that it needs. We need the Strategy to ensure we have enough of the right people with the right skills to provide the best possible care and support for the people who draw on it. https://lnkd.in/eYmUPuJ8
