Safeguarding in Lancashire – Everybody’s Business 

Throughout June and July LCA are conducting a telephone survey of providers across the LCC area. This is being done through the Social Care Partnership and the aims are to raise the profile of safeguarding issues with proprietors, managers and care staff, get some baseline information about awareness and training issues for care providers, and to help ensure providers have a voice in how this new challenge is managed. A sample of providers will be contacted by telephone. The findings will be reported back later in the year at events, in newsletter and from website sources. 

If you have any queries, please contact us Sarah Luton on 01772 455574 or email: sarah.luton@lancashirecare.org.uk

'LEARNING TOGETHER' WORKSHOPS:

We've now held three joint workshops with Lancs County Council through the Social Care Partnership. Each have been very well attended and well-received. Look out for a programme of future workshops whose main aim is to bring council operational and managerial staff into joint learning forums with independent sector care staff, managers and proprietors.

LANCASHIRE 'DIGNITY IN CARE' CHARTER:

LCA has jointly prepared the wording of Lancashire's Dignity in Care Charter with LCC. The charter has been given a major profile at both at the 'Learning Together' workshops held at Farington Lodge by LCA and LCC with the support of the Dept of Health. There's a premium in the fees' settlement linked to the signing of the Charter. We are encouraging every provider (care homes and dom care) to sign up.In 2009-2010, those who don't sign up will not retain the Dignity in Care Premium 2009-2010.
