We are excited to launch the new Adult Social Care Network from UVAC, a national forum bringing together HEIs, training providers, employers, sector bodies and regulators to strengthen high-level skills, workforce development and professional pathways across Adult Social Care. 

The first online meeting on Tuesday 9th June 2026 | 10:00 – 12:00 is now open for registrations.

Led by Nigel Taylor and Dr Nicky Westwood, the network will provide a platform to shape high-level skills, support progression pathways, share best practice and address the evolving challenges facing Adult Social Care. The forum will champion leadership, advanced practice, apprenticeships and innovation, while creating a trusted community where providers and employers can work together to develop practical, evidence-based solutions that reflect frontline realities and future workforce needs.

UVAC members are invited to join this collaborative space to share best practice, tackle sector challenges and shape innovative, future-focused approaches to education, apprenticeships and workforce capability.
