The Care Focus team has many years’ experience in the care sector and has productive partnerships with the private, voluntary and statutory sectors. We also have a number of associates who provide specialist knowledge and experience, making our services, which includes bespoke consultation, project and audit services, flexible and comprehensive. Care Focus is based in Somerset but has established
regional links and can operate across the South West. The aims of Care Focus have always been to promote excellence in care and to raise standards by sharing best practice and offering advice and guidance around legislation, regulation, recruitment, workforce planning and development, facilitating learning opportunities, disseminating information and distributing funding, and raising the profile of the South West’s remarkable social care workforce. This is still 100% true and we continue to work closely with other organisations such as Skills for Care, but recently we have taken a long, hard look at how Care Focus can move forward as a business and how we can increase and enhance the services we provide. As a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee we have always had to search for and secure streams of funding for our work through a variety of sources. In the current financial climate we have had to take a long look at our funding resulting in the exciting and progressive move to registration as a CIC – a Community Interest Company.
