Welcome to Social Care Association

SCA is a UK organisation of individuals and corporate organisations involved in social care. This means all service user groups, children and adults. This means all job roles – Supporting Caring and Assisting people to live the kind of life they want with choice and independence.

What do we do?
We promote good practice in social care, developing ideas from practitioners about how they do their job and where it works best. We share these ideas in the practice guides that are available to members in that part of the site.
We respond to problems in practice to develop a solution and when needed write guidance to help our members to be the best.
We provide a range of services to members to assist and back them up as they practice.

You may choose not to join us but we would recommend that you join someone for your own care and support in this amazing but challenging work. But of course we would love you to join us!
