New social care TV channel launches

October 21, 2009 in Education and training

A new online social care TV service is launched today by the Social Care Institute for Excellence with a brief “to stimulate debate about the big issues in the sector “

Social Care TV programmes aim to bring real world examples to social care staff, managers, commissioners and trainers. Already up on the site are 25 videos covering topics such as dementia, personalisation and safeguarding vulnerable children, with more in the pipeline.

SCIE chief executive Julie Jones said the social care workforce were in for a “treat”.

“Along with the accompanying care and support information on the web pages, the films are thought-provoking, interesting and full of strong messages about delivering good quality, personalised social care,” she said.
