¹ú²úÂÒÂ× announces its latest campaign intended to help build digital confidence in the social care workforce.

¹ú²úÂÒÂ× is running a campaign to support people working in social care build their digital confidence throughout November and December.

The campaign, titled ‘Building digital confidence’, aims help people working in our sector to gain a better understanding of how improved digital skills can enable us to deliver higher quality care and support.

In July 2024, the ‘Workforce Strategy for Adult Social Care’ launched. The Strategy aims to ensure we have enough of the right people with the right skills to provide the best possible care, including digital skills. This campaign aims to help us move closer to realising many of the Strategy’s digital objectives.

We’re also looking to make digital less daunting to people in all roles across social care and highlight the benefits of using digital technology in adult social care, including better quality of life for those we support and more efficient care services.

Campaign content will feature across our website, social media, and other communication channels and will include blogs and real-life insights from digital technology experts and social care organisations who have effectively introduced digital ways of working.

You can follow the campaign and join in on discussions on social media using #BuildingDigitalConfidence.

Jane Brightman, Director of Workforce Strategy at ¹ú²úÂÒÂ×, said:

We hope this campaign boosts your digital confidence, whether it’s through learning new skills, mentoring others, exploring a new piece of technology, or experimenting with artificial intelligence.

Remember, you don’t need to be an expert to take advantage of digital opportunities—and don’t worry, you won’t break anything by pressing the wrong button!"
