Not-for-profit social care provider membership association National Care Forum (NCF) has launched an ebook compiling a stories about care, communities and leadership during the pandemic.
Caring in Covid details how NCF members and the communities they serve “came together and rose to the challenge to support those who needed it most”, it said.
The ebook, which will become part of the British Library collection, acknowledges the legacy of 2020 and the role care providers played in the fight against Covid-19.
“Through the collection of Caring Heroes stories, the reader peeks behind the closed doors and experiences what it was really like for care staff, residents in care homes, and people needing support in their own homes during lockdown,” said NCF executive director Vic Rayner.
“This book is more than just a nod to social history; it demonstrates how people’s lives are enriched by the role of those working in the care sector through their creativity, dedication and passion, and through their many skills and talents,” she added.
To bring the stories together, the NCF has been supported by its partners Quality Compliance Systems, Marr Procurement and Person Centred Software.
