What is TfC? Why? Aims Kirk Lower, National Lead for Talent for Care and Widening Participation

Links between Talent for Care and Widening Participation Talent for Care and Widening Participation are two separate strategies with their own sets of objectives. The main synchronisation between the two strategies is in the ‘Get In’ workstreams, which satisfy objectives from both Talent for Care and Widening Participation. There is also some commonality across other areas of the two strategies, but with each retaining its unique focus.

Shape of Caring The Shape of Caring review includes some recommendations that link very closely with Talent for Care. We will be working with the Shape of Caring team through the engagement process and implementation of the recommendations that are taken forward, particularly on Themes 2 and 3, valuing care assistants and widening access for care assistants to enter the nursing profession.
