Â鶹ŮÀÉ is supporting social care teams to #KeepLearning this year
We’re kicking off the new year with our ‘Keep learning for success’ campaign.
Our campaign will support you and your teams to #KeepLearning by highlighting training and funding opportunities available for social care workers in 2023, and focusing on the real benefits which continual professional development has for people working in social care and the people who they support.
It will run across our website, social media and other communications channels and will include resources to support with training, articles highlighting learning and development opportunities available in 2023, and real life insights from people working in social care.
You can follow the campaign and join in on discussions on social media using #KeepLearning.

Additionally, turnover was reduced by 9.1% for care workers who received more than 30 instances of training when compared to care workers with one instance of training.
Oonagh Smyth, CEO of Â鶹ŮÀÉ says:
The start of the year is a good time to plot your learning and development plans for the next 12 months. Our latest campaign aims to highlight to social care employers the range of different options and funding available to support them in providing ongoing development for their teams. This is vital not only in supporting a good workplace culture and developing and keeping the people who work in care, but also in providing the best outcomes for people who draw on care and support.
