We are delighted to showcase the Adult Social Care Independent Sector Workforce Strategy for Cornwall.
The strategy sets out an ambitious vision for our future and a route map to its achievement, based on a solid foundation of collaboration and commitment. It was developed with the support of academic colleagues from Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) through engagement with stakeholders from across the sector. It reflects their views on how to create an environment in which excellent, high-quality care can continue to be provided.
The strategy was published in July 2024, and will shape the way we work and set our workforce priorities for the coming years. It is aligned with the national workforce strategy from Skills for Care and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).
Read the Final Report and accompanying Workforce Strategy.
This workforce strategy outlines a number of actions which, when implemented, will support our people to experience good work and deliver excellent social care, with the right people with the right skills in the right place who are recognised and valued for their contribution within the wider health and care sector. To oversee delivery of the strategy and these vital aims, a Workforce Executive and Assurance Board has been established. The Board meets quarterly and includes representatives from across Cornwall Council, social care providers, Cornwall’s Integrated Care System (ICS), MMU and Skills for Care. Our latest Highlight Report is published below:
To continue to deliver on our aims and objectives we need to engage a wide range of partners. It is a priority for stakeholders to work together to address workforce challenges and we urge you to email proudtocare@cornwall.gov.uk if you’d like to take part in helping deliver the strategy.
