CARERS TO SPEND LONGER ON VISITS

New guidance says that visits from carers to older people in their homes in England should last for at least half an hour. In some cases carers are currently only able to spend five minutes on each visit.

THE RANKEIN SCALE LAUNCHES

It has taken a bit longer than anticipated but we are absolutely delighted to launch the Rankein Scale. This new and revolutionary assessment will help care based employers,employees and candidates match up. It will help improve the quality of care. The Rankein Scale is a measure of Emotional Intelligence that relates to the caring sector. Unlike most measurement tools which examine general Emotional Intelligence, the Rankein Scale focusses entirely on issues that are specific to caring scenarios.
