The Stress Free Way to Meet the CQC and Council Environmental Requirements


3 December 2024

2:00pm - 3:30pm

On Zoom


Reducing the energy you use in your organisation not only reduces carbon emissions, which is good for the planet, it also saves money.

 

Local Authorities are increasingly looking to decrease their carbon emissions and many are working with their suppliers to help them achieve this. The CQC is also requiring providers to produce a Green Plan from April 2025.

 

This can seem daunting but there is help at hand. Birmingham City Council and Solihull MBC are working together to provide extra support on sustainability and environmental issues for SME businesses.


We’re starting off with a fact packed training session hosted by WMCA and Birmingham and Solihull councils can help with in-depth support after that.


This event is relevent to all local authority areas not just Birmingham and Solihull

Published July 2025 (data correct as at 2024/25) Skills for Care have launched their annual report on the size and structure of ythe care workforce This provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the size and structure of the adult social care sector and workforce in England. A short, written report is available: download a copy of the report here. The methodology for this year’s report has changed from previous years. Adult social care related roles employed by the NHS are no longer included in the headline statistics for the size of the adult social care workforce. This change has been applied retrospectively to previous years, so the trends in this report are consistent. Comparing figures from this report to previous reports will not produce a valid trend. Also, our estimates for the number of filled posts in the independent sector now come from our automated data pipeline. This has resulted in substantial improvements to our estimates over time and some figures have changed as a result from previous versions of this report. For further information, see our statement.  To download the data behind the visualisation below, including trended information, please see the Workforce estimates page.

What is happening with the Fair Pay Agreement for adult social care webinar On Tuesday 15 July 2025, Skills for Care was joined by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to share an overview of the Fair Pay Agreement (FPA) for adult social care. During the webinar, colleagues at DHSC explained what a FPA is, why it is being introduced and what this means for the sector. Details about the Employment Rights Bill and how this provides the legislative framework for FPAs were also shared. The webinar explored how the Government has been engaging with the sector so far, and ways in which those working in adult social care can get involved, including plans for a public consultation later this year. The event concluded with a Q and A A recording of the webinar is now available for you to view.
