With a rising population – and one that is aging – the adult social care sector in Britain is growing rapidly and becoming ever more complex.
A decade of austerity has seen cutbacks in public sector spending, and a growth in private sector provision as demand increases.
Figures suggest the social care system actually contributes an estimated £50 billion to the economy and employs 1.5m people in the UK – more than the NHS and a 19 percent rise in 2009.
So, if you’re involved in the industry, it pays to keep up to date with the latest training developments, such as the online Safeguarding Adults Level 2 Course.
It can help care workers get relevant support and guidance to help them give the best possible care to their clients.
The course gives a clear understanding of the legislation and guidelines which affect the care of all vulnerable adults.
And it is relevant for people working in hospitals, care homes, the individual’s own home or other community settings.
