Good Care Month - January 2021

With an increased aging population and individuals of all ages with more complex needs that require additional social care support, there is an increasing requirement to recruit and retain staff in the adult social care sector.

The Good Care Campaign is about celebrating the great work that social care staff do each and every day and sharing it via the campaign.
