Social Care Support promotes inclusive practice and provides an inclusive service, recognising, respecting, and valuing individuals' rights, diversity, difference, strengths, and contributions by actively promoting equality and fairness. We constructively challenge discrimination, both in the workplace, within day-to-day practice and when facilitating learning and training events.
Social Care Support works hard to ensure that the services we provide are accessible and safe for all, so that individuals can reach their full potential within a comfortable, supportive and creative learning environment, using a range of learning, and training methods. We ask that organisations and individuals commissioning our services inform us of any specific accessibility needs at an early stage so that we can ensure that in planning in our services the choice of venue, and our service delivery is fully inclusive.
