• Welcome to Partners in Care

Welcome to Partners in Care

Partners in Care is a not-for-profit membership organisation representing approximately 270 independent adult social care providers – residential care homes, nursing homes, homecare/domiciliary care providers and supported living providers – in Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin. We are now also able to support adult social care providers in Cheshire where historically there hasn't been a care association representing local providers.

We offer a wide range of services for adult social care providers across Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Cheshire. These include training, a Disclosure and Barring service and a wide range of workforce initiatives. We also accept Personal Assistants as individual members and can offer training, DBS checks and support.

Partners in Care is the local voice for the independent adult social care sector, representing members in discussions with local authorities and the NHS.

We process online DBS Applications and Adult First Checks on behalf of our members and can also offer this service to non-members or organisations outside of the social care sector.
