Launch of Skills for Care's A Workforce Strategy | BASW England response
Skills for Care has today published their Workforce Strategy for adult social care in England.
BASW England were one of many partners that collaborated on the strategy, billed as the first time the adult social care sector came together to develop such a piece of work.
Maris Stratulis, BASW England National DirectorWe welcome the release of this much-anticipated workforce strategy, which follows collaboration with the adult social care sector, including those drawing on care and support.
BASW England members will be eager to engage in further collaboration and cross-sector engagement to support this work ahead of any proposed implementation.
As part of this work we will continue to champion the essential role of social workers within the broader care workforce and advocate for a long-term strategy that prioritises significant investment in developing the social work workforce.
The Strategy looks to ensure the adult social care sector has the right people with the right skills to provide the best possible care and support for the people who require services.
