Wellbeing & Menopause

October is World Menopause Month with the 18th October  specifically being World Menopause Day. The day is to raise awareness, break the stigma and highlight the support options available for improving health and wellbeing.  Research shows 1 in 4 women consider leaving their job due to menopause symptoms (British Menopause Society, 2022).


With over 80% of the social care workforce being women, the WMCA   wish to help our members to raise awareness and show support for those experiencing menopause symptoms in the workplace. 


Be Well Midlands is an initiative for everyone working in health and care in the Midlands. The programme aims to improve wellbeing provision, so staff are able to continue providing exceptional care. We need to be well to care well.

Launch of our annual 'The Size and Structure of the Adult Social Care Workforce report'

July 29, 2025
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.

Skills for Care - Fair Pay Agreement for adult social care

July 23, 2025
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.
