National Skills Academy for Social Care Launch

13 October 2009

The National Skills Academy for Social Care was launched today in Westminster by two Ministers; Kevin Brennan MP from the Department for Business, innovation and Skills and Phil Hope from the Department of Health who was had done a re recording as he was unable to attend in person.

I have been on the steering group of the Skills Academy and am now a member of the Board of Trustees. I was very pleased to be invited to say a few words at the launch and I will keep you informed of progress in the coming months. What I can tell you is that there will be a number of initiatives in the next few months which will bring added value to small and medium sized registered providers of care in the coming year, so I guess it is a case of watch this space!
