HOW TO NOMINATE A CARE PROVIDER FOR AN AWARD

2017 Categories: Organisation / Employer Awards

It is true that individual carers make all the difference to individual service users, but it is important to recognise the hugely important role of the whole organisation, and the culture where individuals can thrive. This award is for those Care Providers who provide the culture and structure and support for both service users and their staff.

If you work for a care provider or are a service user or relative and you just have so much respect for the whole organisation, then this could be an award to interest you

The advice and guidance from the judges is below.
