Founder Members

Membership of the National Skills Academy for Social Care was rolled out early in 2011. As a starting point, a selection of over 60 organisations and individuals who are committed to excellence and innovation in social care joined us as Founder Members of the Academy in 2010.
We continue to work with them to ensure the services we develop provide real benefits and tangible value, and deliver what the sector needs, at a time of enormous change in social care.
Our Founder Members come from all over England and from all parts of the social care sector.
