In particular we wanted this guide to be led by those working in care homes today and ‘shine a light’ on the great practice happening.
Our Expert Advisory Group met virtually over a period of 5 months in early/mid 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The group’s insights and expertise helped to inform and shape the content of this guide and we thank everyone for their support.
