Skills for Care has launched a campaign to help build digital confidence in the social care workforce.

Building digital confidence, which runs through November and December, aims to help those working in adult social care to gain a better understanding of how improved digital skills can enable the delivery of higher quality care and support.

The campaign aims to make digital less daunting to people in all roles across social care and highlight the benefits of using digital technology in adult social care, including better quality of life for those being supported and more efficient care services.

Campaign content will include blogs and real-life insights from digital technology experts and social care organisations who have effectively introduced digital ways of working. The campaign can be followed using #BuildingDigitalConfidence on social media.

Jane Brightman, director of workforce strategy at Skills for Care, said: “We hope this campaign boosts your digital confidence, whether it’s through learning new skills, mentoring others, exploring a new piece of technology, or experimenting with artificial intelligence.”
