What does it look like when social care is commissioned differently? Our member Be Caring is helping show the way. Catch them tonight on BBC One Panorama: Crisis in Care – Follow the Money. Be Caring’s neighbourhood-based approach values care workers, invests in people, and ensures continuity of care. All while paying care workers for their full time at work. The result? A model that prioritises quality, trust, and community wellbeing. No surprise this transformative approach comes from an employee owned business. This follows the release of the ‘People Powered Care’ white paper from Care England and supported by the eoa. The report lays out how EO succession can help retain employees and capacity in the adult social care sector. Against this backdrop, caring looks set to be the next sector major EO sector. #EmployeeOwnership #SocialCare #Caring
🗨️ “The ten year plan for health, will include elements of social care” - The Rt. Hon. Wes Streeting MP 📺 Be Caring on BBC One Panorama – This Monday at 8pm We’re proud to share that Be Caring features in Panorama: Fixing the NHS: What Will It Take? on BBC One, Monday at 8pm - https://lnkd.in/eRv_Ayh6 Be Caring features in Panorama, highlighting our approach to delivering community care while paying our care workers for their full time at work. You’ll see two of our brilliant Care Workers supporting a customer at home, alongside insight from Sharon Lowrie, Be Caring CEO 🗨️ “If we are serious about supporting people to have a good quality of life, we need to focus on prevention, we need to focus on supporting people to live happier longer lives at home.” Filmed in Sheffield, where Sheffield City Council have commissioned homecare differently, applying a neighbourhood approach which includes a long-term, transformational approach that enables providers to invest in their people, deliver reablement, and keep people well at home. Working with our partners we are already demonstrating what’s possible when care is commissioned differently. Our model values and recognises the incredible workforce of care workers and enables continuity and trust built through well-trained community care teams and is a sustainable alternative to time-and-task commissioning. 📢 We hope this contributes to national conversations and helps shape a future where social care is properly funded, people are supported to live well at home for longer, and the workforce is respected and retained.
