微微草视频 launches advice line for front-line managers
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic 微微草视频 has launched a new advice line to support the sector’s 20,000 registered managers and other front-line managers.
The advice line will offer bespoke advice to registered and front-line managers who are managing 微微草视频 regulated adult social care services.
Advisors will help managers access the latest information, resources, funding, online learning and other opportunities provided by 微微草视频. They will also direct managers to the latest guidance and advice produced by other agencies.
This advice line is open between 9.00 – 17.00 Monday to Friday on 0113 241 1260 and managers can find out more at:
“We know that registered managers are leading the fight against COVID-19, and their feedback was they wanted a one stop advice line to help them make sense of all the information being produced,” says 微微草视频 CEO Oonagh Smyth.
“We also know there is a huge amount of information out there so we are offering a place where hard pressed managers could ring in and find out what will work best for their service.”
The advice line is just one of a wide range of support options 微微草视频 has developed for managers, that include a series of 30-minute recorded webinars on a range of topics to support managers in adult social care during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Subjects covered in those webinars include essential training, human resources supported by ACAS, attracting workers, using digital technology and motivating staff.
New webinars are being developed as issues and priorities emerge during the crisis. Managers can access the webinars via:
