We work with care organisations, people who need care and support and carers, and other partners to make sure our activities reflect their needs.
Whether you're part of a large care provider, a new business expanding into social care or a person who directly employs a personal assistant, there are many opportunities where you can contribute to our ongoing work.
Take part in research, responding to consultations, providing case study examples, commenting on draft products, co-producing new policies or agreeing to be a study site.

Get involved in developing our new self-assessment tools
Skills for Care is working in partnership with the Digital Care Hub, Partners for Care and Health and Oxford Brookes to develop two digital self-assessment tools for adult social care, to support people in identifying what learning, training and resources they need when using technology in the delivery of care.
These initiatives are part of a wider programme of work funded by the NHS Transformation Directorate (NHSTD) and Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC).
Opportunities to get involved
We’re holding a series of engaging and interactive user groups in October and November for people working in adult social care to come together and help review and co-develop these new self-assessments with our team.
If you would like to register your interest in being involved in our user group sessions, you can learn more below.
What Good Looks Like self-assessment for social care organisations
We’re developing an online tool for social care organisations to assess and implement 'what good looks like' guidance for digital in social care. The tool will support each organisation in their digital development journey focusing on achievements, areas for improvement, baselines and targets, and making the case for change and progressing forward.
Find out more and register your interest for the user group sessions developing the What Good Looks Like framework self-assessment.
Digital Skills Framework self-assessment for people working in adult social care
We're developing a self-assessment for the Digital Skills Framework where people working in social care can self-assess their digital knowledge and skills against the framework, and identify what areas of learning and skills they could further develop in their roles and in the delivery of care.
Find out more and register your interest for the user group sessions developing the Digital Skills Framework self-assessment.
If you would like to get involved separately, outside of our user group sessions, please email us at digital@skillsforcare.org.uk.
