The deadline for nominations for the Social Care Accolades awards, open to all teams, groups and organisations across the social care sector in Wales, is approaching.
Nominations for the biennial Care Council-supported awards close on February 1. Winners will be announced at a ceremony on June 21 this year.
So if you’re one of the estimated five per cent of Wales’ population working in the private, voluntary and statutory social care sectors, now’s your chance to apply.
Accolades – awards categories
There are six categories of awards:
- Leadership to achieve confident, competent and professional workers
- Citizens controlling services
- Better outcomes through working together
- Developing a sustainable workforce
- Excellent outcomes in the care of older people, which is sponsored by Barchester Healthcare
- Excellent outcomes in the care of younger people/children/early years
Gwenda Thomas AM, Deputy Minister for Children and Social Services, who
has supported the Accolades since 2007, said: “All sectors need role
models and examples of how boundaries have been pushed back to improve
services. By recognising the success of teams, groups and organisations,
and facilitating the sharing of good practice, the Social Care
Accolades play an important role in helping raise standards of care
services in Wales.
