The truth is, social workers bring numerous transferable skills that benefit any organization, whether in corporate or community settings. Society often overlooks social workers due to a narrow narrative that portrays them solely as working with children and families. Social workers offer more than child removal and social services. It's time to shift that narrative. #SocialWork #TransferableSkills #ChangeTheNarrative #ChangeManagement

🚨 The Adult Social Care Crisis in 2024 🚨 The UK’s adult social care system is under immense pressure. With rising costs, workforce shortages, and an ageing population, the challenges are mounting: 💼 Financial Pressures: Local authorities are grappling with limited budgets, exacerbated by increasing care costs. Major cities like Birmingham and Nottingham have declared financial crises due to overspending on social care. 👩⚕️ Workforce Shortages: Reliance on migrant workers is crucial, but potential policy changes could worsen the staffing gap. Attracting domestic workers remains difficult due to low wages and limited career growth. 👵 Growing Unmet Demand: Over 2 million older people are not receiving the care they need, with basic activities such as dressing, walking, and eating becoming a struggle for many. It’s clear that long-term reform is urgently needed to address these critical issues. #SocialCare #CareSector #HealthcareCrisis #AgeingPopulation #WorkforceChallenges #SocialCareReform #insightcx #carepay #Vocafill
