This online witness seminar, attended by 35 people, was on a key reform introduced in response to the Cavendish Review, which followed on from the Mid Stafforshire NHS public inquiry.

Speakers included Andy Tilden OBE, formerly at Skills for Care; Angelo Varetto from Skills for Health; and Dr Louise Thomson from the University of Nottingham.

This was the first in a series of three witness seminars being organised by the Supporting Adult Social Care Innovation Project (SASCI), led from the LSE, and involving Jill Manthorpe and Carl Purcell from the NIHR Policy Research Unit in Health and Social Care Workforce at King's. The next seminar in the series is: How did social worker registration in England come about? on 27 March 2023.
