Working in Partnership
The Care Professional Academy started as a partnership between Hertfordshire Care Providers Association and Adult Care Services at Hertfordshire County Council and was aimed at ensuring the entire care workforce across the county was trained to a professional, best practice standard. The remit has grown beyond Hertfordshire and the Academy is now available in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and continues to develop into other areas.
The Care Professional Academy is available to purchase for ALL Social Care Providers across UK and Local Authority. To find out more visit https://www.careprofessional.co.uk/services or email contact@careprofessional.co.uk
The Academy is available to all adult care providers and all services across the entire country including residential services, community groups, Direct Payment Holders, domiciliary care.
This would not be possible if it were not for the various staff powering these organisations, however, it is recognised working in social care is not always seen as attractive. We aim to support recruitment and retention, and help individuals continue to recognise and grow their knowledge, creating a culture of excellence through continuous learning and development.
