Care in the Capital Week

Join Community Care in promoting a positive image
of social care in London

CARE IN THE CAPITAL WEEK 
20-24th September 2004

The recruitment crisis in London is
fuelled by the negative image of social care portrayed in the
media. The focus of this year’s Care in the Capital week is
to challenge the negative stereotypes in the media and improve the
image of social care within London. We want to encourage interest
in the profession and highlight how rewarding it is to work in
social care.

We have two aims:

1. To challenge the issue of social
care’s image in the media
2. To look at how the profession can constructively influence the
media and communicate positive messages about working in social
care

We are running various activities and
producing valuable resources during the week, which will help to
achieve these aims. They include:

• Campaign launch on the London
  eye
• Media toolkits on how to promote your
  services through positive communications
• Special report on the image of social
  care
• High profile job shadow
• Master class run by PR and marketing
  experts. Click
