This voluntary register has been created to recognise the professionalism and dedication of social care professionals in England. Those on the register have demonstrated a commitment to the cultures and behaviours expected of their profession, adhere to a strict Code of Conduct and Ethics, and provide care and support to the very highest standards. The VCPR is a voluntary register, developed independently and without any official mandate from government. As such, the VCPR does not place any obligation on anyone to register and will not have any regulatory function or be qualification based. However, it will be peer led, values based have an expectation from those who have chosen to be on the register to observe the cultures and behaviours of those expected of a care professional, adhere to a Code of Conduct, and to carry out their work to the highest of standards. The VCPR has been established as a direct result of the findings contained within the IHSCM's A People Plan for Social Care. It has the support of many working in the social care sector in England. Its objective is to promote public confidence in the social care workforce in England, where, unlike the devolved regions of the UK, there is currently no registration provision. The Register is open to any social care professional working in the social care sector in England Care professionals will need to renew annually to maintain their registration.

The Voluntary Care Professional Register (VCPR) says thank you to our Panel Member and Nurse, Paula Cashmore, and Chair and Nurse Liz Blacklock. We are extremely proud of the work you do and the contribution you are making to the social care sector to change the perception of the highly skilled Care Professionals.
International Nurses day is held annually on the anniversary of the birthday of 'the founder of modern nursing ' Florence Nightingale, May 12 1820. Wikipedia gives her title as statistician, showing only by studying outcomes and improving practice will we continue to develop nursing as a profession. Cheers 🥂 to my nurse colleagues and connections.
Who went to the Care Show over the last couple of days?! It was jammed packed, wasn't it?! The hall was buzzing. A massive well done to the organisers. It was great to hear George Appleton from Care England supporting the VCPR during his session in the Keynote Theatre yesterday. Liz Blacklock from our team was lucky enough to be in attendance. With Kay Mumford also walking the show floor. The team concur that a register is one part of a multi-faceted approach to the professionalising of care. It was great to share thoughts with the team ME Passport. There's so much alignment across the sector in terms of what we're all trying to achieve. We’re invigorated to continue the conversations from the event and push forward with our mission to raise the profile of our Care Professionals for a brighter future for all. #SocialCare #CareProfessionals #CareRecruitment #CareShowLDN24
Wishing you all a joyous Easter weekend filled with love, hope, and new beginnings! Happy Easter to you and your loved ones! 🌼🐣 #happyeaster #spring #easter
Social Care in Crisis! 🚨 It's alarming to see social care requests reach record highs while provision continues to plummet. The sector's stagnation persists due to a lack of reform from successive governments. 💔 We can't afford to stand idly by while vulnerable members of our community suffer. It's time for change! 💪 Let's come together to advocate for meaningful reform and increased support for social care. Every voice counts. Share your ideas, and let's push for the change we desperately need. Together, we can make a difference. 💙 #socialcarecrisis #communitysupport #change #workingincare
