Who is eligible to register?

If you are an adult social care provider who delivers adult care services in Leicester and Leicestershire, you are eligible to register as a member.

This group has been put together as a result of the useful webinars arranged by ADASS, SfC & the LGA from which it is becoming apparent to Inspired to Care that there are equivalents to our team scattered around the country, working to the same aims.

Our vision for this group is to create a national collaboration space, keeping it really informal, having no governance or formal task and finish groups, where we can meet to network and share ideas. As a member you must be working for local authority or health authority and be in an external workforce lead / support role / or majority of your role manages the challenges around workforce within the independent adult social care sector.

Purpose: Share ideals & workstreams, what's worked / working well, what hasn't worked well, drive national change and discussion and a platform to support each other.
