Care Association Alliance

The Care Association Alliance was created from a discussion between a few like-minded local Care Association leaders back in 2010. There was no Forum at that time particularly for SME providers and so the Alliance was established as a means for local Care Associations to exchange best practice based on their experiences as well as being a useful vehicle to deliver front line smaller provider issues direct to the central decision makers. Attendance at meetings has grown over time and agendas for each meeting are evenly split between sharing best practice and seeking discussions with the leading decision makes in social care. Chairs and Chief Executives travel great distances to attend the meeting reinforcing the value of the Alliance’s activities. Our aim is to support local care associations to grow and develop so they can play a key part in their local health and social care systems and enable the voice of the care providers to be heard.
