Our next Essential Updates for members will be held at locations in South, West and North Wales in June.

The Updates are a great way to keep up to date with best practice in social care – plus a chance to network with others working in the sector in your region.

Updates run from 9am-4pm and are aimed at all who work in the social care sector. Managers in particular find them a useful source of information and knowledge which they often then filter back to staff.

Email enquiries@careforumwales.co.uk or call 01978 755400 for more information.
