Finalists for the Great Yorkshire and Humberside Care Awards Announced 2011
13 October 2011
Tuesday 11th October saw a multitude of finalists gather to attend the judging day for the Great Yorkshire and Humberside Care Awards.
The search to find the winners of this year’s Great Yorkshire and HumbersideCare Awards is almost complete. Entries have been invited from categories representing all areas of the social care sector from throughout Yorkshire and Humberside. Finalists were invited to attend a judging day at the Hilton Hotel in York where they were interviewed by a panel of judges representing all areas of the social care sector.
The awards, who's principal sponsor is h.e.t. software, will take place at The National Railway Museum on the 11th November where the winners will be announced. The evening will consist of a champagne reception, a superb gourmet dinner followed by the awards presentation with Jenny Eclair, and dancing into the night.
Finalists at the judging day represented all areas of Yorkshire and Humbersideregion. From local private care providers, residential and nursing homes and local authority adult social care departments – one thing they all had in common was they epitomised the unsung heroes of the region. Without such people quality care for the vulnerable and elderly members of our community would fail.
The Great Yorkshire and HumbersideCare Awards is part of a series of regional Great British Care Awards. The winners from all the regional awards will then be invited to attend the National Events for either Home Care or Care Homes sectors at the prestigious London venue in May and June 2012.
The Great British Care Awards are acelebration of excellence across the care sector. The purpose of the awards is to promote best practice within both home care and care homes sectors, and pay tribute to those individuals who have demonstrated outstanding excellence within their field of work.
There are a total of twenty-two award categories available for nomination, which represent all areas of the care sector,whether it be older people or specialist services, residential or home care. From frontline staff such as care workers and care managers to people who have made an impact in other ways such as training, specialist care and innovation.
The awards have received support from across the social care sector, including the Adult Directors of Social Services (ADASS), Department of Health, Ceretas, the English Community Care Association (ECCA), the National Academy for Social Care and the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) and Skills for Care.
The awards support the Care Professionals Benevolent Fund (CPBF.) The CBPF is the registered charity for the Care Sector which supports current, former and retired care professionals, by providing assistance to relieve financial hardship or sickness.
Lisa Carr, a Director of the Great British Care Awards and one of the judges on the day said,
“The Great Yorkshire and HumbersideCare Awards are now in their third year and we were truly heartened to receive such an overwhelming response. Despite the economic down turn social care will always remain at the heart of the government's agenda for supporting old and vulnerable people. The awards offer a unique opportunity to celebrate the successes of individuals, teams and businesses throughout the UK - people who really do make a positive impact on people’s lives. The quality of the finalists was once again extremely high and it was humbly to meet so many local champions. The awards will really help to raise the profile of social care in the region and we are looking forward to what promises to be a superb awards evening.”
