Don’t expect meetings or a change in care plan to solve your staff’s problems Stress, burnout and poor relationships with supported individuals aren’t patched over by new policies. Are you trying to survive another crisis? Or trying to build a team that thrives long-term?

Currently working on a new project to get the core D8 experience to more care teams. In the past, physical intervention training has been the only way I’ve been able to deliver what makes D.ESCAL8™ special to people. Now that limitation no longer applies.

Interesting reading relevant to a lot of us in care work : “The CQC guidance is clear: people with dementia “can, and do consent to sexual relations” and care homes will now be judged on allowing and, in the right circumstances, supporting them to do so.” d8l.uk/2FPwUPu

Reduce Care Turnover Up To 67%

"Supporting in Green" assists care employers to retain staff, saving as much as £90k annually.
