Care England Responds to Skills for Care’s Workforce Strategy

Today Skills for Care has published its long-awaited workforce strategy, produced collaboratively with the care sector.

In response to this, Professor Martin Green OBE, Chief Executive of Care England said:

“There is no single solution to the care sector’s workforce crisis, and no single body is responsible for ensuring that social care is a profession of choice. What’s needed is a strategic approach to the workforce across the social care sector, and this workforce strategy delivers just that.

“Skills for Care is to be commended for developing this strategy, which should act as a framework to ensure all parts of the system work collaboratively. Only then can we deliver a professionally qualified workforce that has the recognition and respect that it so clearly deserves.”
