Care homes do incredible work every day - but even the best teams can face unexpected risks.
From slips and trips to medication errors, staff injuries and property damage, small issues can quickly become costly claims. The good news? Awareness and simple preventative steps can make a huge difference.
✔️ Regular training
✔️ Clear reporting processes
✔️ Up-to-date documentation
✔️ Shared responsibility across teams
Creating a safer environment protects both residents and staff — and helps your care home stay resilient under pressure.

😁 National Smile Month 2026 is here! 😁

Between 11 May and 11 June 2026, the Oral Health Foundation is raising awareness of the importance of good oral health as part of the nation’s biggest oral health campaign.

This year marks an incredible 50 years of Smile Month — and everyone deserves a healthy smile. 😁

As care providers, supporting the oral health of older people is an important part of promoting dignity, wellbeing and overall health. Small actions can make a big difference to someone’s confidence and quality of life.

Join the campaign, get involved, and help bring a smile to millions of people this month! 😊

Are you a Wiltshire Care Provider who has had a cyber incident and would be willing to share your experience and the impact on your service/s?

The Digital Care Hub is inviting you to do just that as they want to produce a video to highlight the realities of cyber incidents in social care. They are keen to hear what happened, how you responded, what you learned, and what advice you would give to others. If you would prefer not to be filmed that is fine, they would also welcome written case studies. By being open, we can all help reduce stigma and support the sector to learn from real experiences rather than face these challenges alone. If you are willing to contribute, please get in touch in the first instance with our Digital Project Lead [email protected]
