Been There, Done That, And Given Away The T-Shirt!

No doubt about it, Francis Ward, Head of Skills, Research and Intelligence for Skills for Care has the power of persuasion when it comes to his favourite topic – the National Minimum Data Set for Social Care.

Francis just happened to meet the stars when he was living it up at Glastonbury (who said this year`s event was populated by greater numbers of middle aged people than ever before?) and when he did, he just couldn’t miss the opportunity of raising the status of the social care workforce? spreading the word.

He stopped the stars, chatted to them about the impact NMDS-SC will have in providing up-to-the minute facts and figures that will attract funders and guide commissioners to extend the market and benefit the people needing care.

Says Francis: “What was fantastic is that these young people who put the t-shirts on were absolutely great to talk to and listened! It was a great experience.”
