Charity and Voluntary Sector
CQC: The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) is giving grants to registered providers of adult social care in England to assist them with their information, communications & technology. The initiative is to allow those who use, visit or work in adult social care services to benefit from the learning, knowledge & access that the internet can bring. This will support adult social care providers who need to register with CQC by 1 October 2010. To register, providers will need to complete an online registration form.
