Allan Bowman, the Chair & Chief Executive of the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) explains why he is supporting the Quality Care Campaign.
Mr Bowman said: "The Social Care Institute for Excellence is committed to identifying and promoting the best practice in Social Care services across the UK. "
We are particularly pleased to support this campaign at a time when there has been considerable criticism of residential care in the media.
"While these poor examples of care are to be deplored, the experience of most people is different and across the country there are examples of the very best practice.
"What this campaign should achieve is the highlighting of excellent practice and continuing take up of that practice across the sector,leading to only high quality care being provided." T
he Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) was established by Government in 2001 to improve social care services for adults and children in the United Kingdom. SCIE achieves this by identifying good practice and helping to embed it in everyday social care provision.
SCIE works to disseminate knowledge-based good practice guidance; involve service users, carers, practitioners, providers and policy makers in advancing and promoting good practice in social care; enhance the skills and professionalism of social care workers through our tailored, targeted and user-friendly resources.
