The Government has launched the first major national survey of all care workers in
all care roles and settings in adult social care in England.
The findings will be used to shape Government thinking on how they should support
everyone working in social care to ensure those working in care roles in the sector
get the resources, recognition and development necessary to provide the best
quality of care and excel in their careers.
Please share the survey link with your frontline staff and encourage them to
respond. The survey will take no more than 20 minutes to complete, and responses
are collected anonymously

The draft Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and
Autism code of practice outlines how health and care providers who are
registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) can meet the
legislative requirement introduced by the Health and Care Act 2022 to
ensure staff receive training on learning disability and autism, appropriate
to their role.
The public consultation on the draft code of practice will run for 12 weeks
and closes on Tuesday 19 September 2023. Following this, the
government will consider all consultation responses to inform any final
changes to the draft code of practice.
