An extract from the department of Health and Social Care

Click see more for the recent appreciation shown to care assistants by the Government.

The government recognises the dedication and commitment shown by all our care workers and organisations to keep people with care and support needs safe during these unprecedented times. Care workers, caterers, cleaners, nurses, occupational therapists, personal assistants, registered managers, social workers, and others, all have a crucial role in ensuring that people’s needs are met during this challenging time.

There are examples across the country where people are going above and beyond what could be expected under normal circumstances. Whilst most of the country is now expected to stay at home, this has not been an option for those providing care and support, who are a vital lifeline to people most in need.
