Digital champions community event

This event will bring together digital champions local to your area, across England, and anyone else who is interested in becoming a digital champion. This will be the first in a series of activities aimed at supporting and raising the profile of digital champions.
Digital champions are individuals who work in the adult social care sector, who support and empower staff to use digital tools more effectively themselves and have increased confidence, understanding and motivation.
During this event, you’ll be able to share learning and find out more about how other digital champions are supporting their colleagues and people drawing on care and support. You will also have the opportunity to work together to hear about solutions to common issues and find out about new digital and technology innovations, and resources that can support the continuous professional development of your workforce.
Through these events, our goal is to build a community of digital champions for the adult social care sector.
Learning outcomes:
- To gain a deeper awareness and understanding of the role of digital champions and practical ways of fulfilling this role.
- Find out more about the resources available to support you as a digital champion or as an employer who supports digital champions.
- Connect with other digital champions in your local area and identify feasible steps, individual or collective, in how to support each other.
As part of Skills for Care's aim to create a community of digital champions, we'll be hosting a follow up event on Thursday 25 January 2024. We'll also be hosting local digital champions awareness events over the coming months.

This workshop will be run on Zoom.
