The Adult Social Care Workforce

Adult Social Care needs a workforce 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. For the first time ever, the Adult Social Care sector has come together, led by Skills for Care, to develop the Workforce Strategy it needs.

At this Panoramic Associates Briefing, we are joined by Jane Brightman, Director of Workforce Strategy at Skills for Care, to provide an introduction to this strategy, examining engagement, influence, implementation and impact.
