Skills for Care, the workforce development and planning body for adult social care in England, is launching its month-long #CelebratingSocialCare campaign on 4 April and is encouraging everyone working across social care to get involved.

The organisation is encouraging people to shout out the importance of social care and the dedication and skills of the people who work within it. Skills for Care will be posting blogs and articles in its website and via other communications channels, sharing good news stories from the sector, as well as stories of innovation, learning and development through the pandemic.

On social media, Skills for Care is asking individuals, providers and other organisations across social care to get involved by sharing their #CelebratingSocialCare messages.

Suggestions include posting thank you messages on social media to colleagues, sharing good news stories and stories of success throughout Covid-19, or recording a short video paying tribute to the hard work of teams, using the hashtag #CelebratingSocialCare.

The campaign follows the Social Care Day of Remembrance and Reflection which was held on 17 March following the lifting of public Covid-19 restrictions, two years since the pandemic began.

More information on the campaign and how to get involved can be found here.
