Responding to State of the Adult Social Care Sector Workforce report

The latest Skills for Care report shows some positive steps in adult social care, including falling vacancy rates.

But real and persistent challenges remain in building a workforce that is supported, developed, and recognised for the value it brings.

To realise the ambitions of the 10-year health plan, we need a social care workforce that is skilled, valued, and equipped to meet growing and complex needs.

Mental health social workers are a vital part of this workforce and at Think Ahead, we’ll continue to play our part in developing and supporting them to make a lasting difference.
