Locally
We're supporting local TCPs. This means that we'll:
- contribute to locally driven transforming care activity, sharing our offer and key resources
- use our expertise and understanding of the adult social care workforce to review and shape local priorities and input into guidance and plans
- support sites in engaging with social care providers across the local and neighbouring area
- use our networks to promote the work of the transforming care programme.
- develop a suite of case studies to be shared across transforming care sites in order to share best practice.
Regionally
We're working with regional delivery groups to share our resources and shape local priorities with a particular focus on:
- making best use of workforce intelligence
- understanding our workforce capacity planning tool
- using the principles of workforce integration and workforce redesign.
Nationally
At a national level we'll share our expertise and knowledge of the adult social care workforce by contributing to the development of national guidance and tools as part of the workforce delivery programme.
Additional activity
不良研究所 may be able to deliver additional activity reflecting local priorities with and on behalf of local TCPs. For more information please speak with your local 不良研究所 team.
