SUMMARY:Sustainability in Social Care - Saving Money\, Strengthening Compliance and Building Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Join our 1.5 hour webinar with Strategic Partner Blizzard for Business \nThis session is suitable for leaders and decision makers. \nSustainability in Social Care – Saving Money\, Strengthening Compliance and Building Resilience \nThis session will explore how sustainability can deliver practical benefits for care providers by reducing running costs\, supporting good governance\, strengthening preparation for disruption and helping services respond to growing expectations around environmental sustainability. Providers will leave with ideas they can apply in a realistic\, cost-conscious way. \nAgenda\n1. Why sustainability matters now – sustainability is no longer just a ‘nice to have’ for adult social care\, and how it connects to rising costs\, operational pressures\, resilience and future expectations from the Care Quality Commission (CQC).\n2. Saving money through practical sustainability measures – Looking at realistic steps providers can take to lower overheads\, including energy efficiency\, renewable energy options\, waste reduction and smarter use of buildings and resources. This will include examples of where changes can reduce utility costs and release money back into frontline care.\n3. Sustainability and CQC: what providers need to know – Exploring how environmental sustainability links to well-led services\, governance and preparation for future inspection expectations. This section will show how taking action now can help providers evidence strong leadership\, resource awareness and a proactive approach to improvement.\n4. Business continuity and resilience – Understanding how sustainability supports stronger business continuity planning\, from reducing dependence on volatile energy costs to preparing for power outages\, internet disruption\, extreme weather and supply challenges. This will include consideration of cost-effective backup connectivity solutions to help services stay operational if internet access goes down\, while protecting continuity of care and reducing operational risk.\n5. Innovation in action: examples for care settings – Showcasing practical ideas such as no up-front-cost solar panel options\, electric vehicle charging points that can generate income\, backup connectivity and other sustainability solutions that can reduce costs\, create revenue opportunities and improve resilience for care providers.\n6. Turning ideas into action – Identifying simple first steps\, quick wins and longer-term opportunities. Providers will be encouraged to think about what is realistic for their own service\, where they can start\, and how sustainability can be built into leadership\, operations and future planning. \nBy the end of the session\, attendees will:\nHave a clearer understanding of how sustainability can support financial efficiency\, strengthen compliance\, improve resilience and contribute to high-quality care. \nCLICK HERE TO BOOK!\n
