The National Care Forum is rapidly becoming the leading voice in the care sector, representing the views and concerns both of carers and those we care for.

The NCF has a clear purpose to promote quality outcomes for people who receive care and support services. This requires that service users are at the heart of any definition of quality.

We promote the benefits of the not-for-profit model of care services provision, to local and national government, as well as consumers and other health care bodies.

United Kingdom Home Care Association Ltd is the professional association of home care providers from the independent, voluntary, not-for-profit and statutory sectors.

UKHCA helps organisations that provide social care, which may include nursing services, to people in their own homes, promoting high standards of care and providing representation with national and regional policy-makers and regulators.

Investors in People is a national quality standard which sets a level of good practice for improving an organisation's performance through its people.

Investors in People recognises that organisations use different means to achieve success through their people. It does not prescribe any one method but provides a framework to help you find the most suitable means for achieving success through your people.
