It's the 1 year anniversary of the Workforce Strategy. A sustainable workforce is central to providing good social care, but we need to encourage more people to join and stay! This strategy is all about how we can achieve that as a sector #ASCWorkforceStrategy #carecantwait

Which #socialcare staff have the highest wellbeing at work? According to this newly released @DHSCgovuk survey, it’s personal assistants. Care workers and - perhaps more surprisingly - social workers/nursing associates are at the bottom. Lots more in the report : thread here ⬇️
