Social care workers enjoyed a special reception at Number 10 Downing Street, including attendees put forward by Skills for Care.
The reception was held at Number 10 Downing Street on 17 August to honour the work of social care staff and unpaid care workers.
The Minister for Care, Helen Whately MP, opened the event, which recognised the contribution of care workers and the role of social care in society.
It was an important opportunity for care workers to attend the famous parliamentary home and to hear from and speak directly with the Minister as well as other sector leaders, with Deborah Sturdy, the Chief Nurse for Adult Social Care also speaking at the event.
Skills for Care was delighted to be asked to put forward some attendees for the event and was able to pass on the invitation to three of our Skills for Care Registered Manager Network Chairs.
This was an opportunity to celebrate the great work which these registered managers are doing in their own organisations and as Chairs of their networks.
Angela Farrow, Registered Manager, Home Instead, Mill Farm, said:
Jane Borland, Registered Manager, Rathgar Care Home, said:
Lorrie Truelove, Registered Manager/Director, Everycare (Wessex) Ltd. said:
We’re pleased to hear that everyone enjoyed the event and found it a valuable experience.
