Adult Social Care
When you think of adult social care, what springs to mind? Perhaps carers or people with disabilities, or supporting older people, or maybe nothing at al! Adult social care workers do so much more than first meets the eye.
They enable people to live the lives that they want to lead, empower communities to support wellbeing and help individuals to achieve social justice.
