<p>We are working closely across Government with local authorities and providers to
make sure the adult social care sector is prepared and able to respond to COVID-19.
We know that the adult social care sector will need to recruit more people to ensure
it can operate at maximum capacity, both to fill existing vacancies, but also to ensure
there is sufficient cover for those in the workforce who will need to self-isolate
because they are unwell, or who need to undertake more stringent social distancing
measures because they are in a high risk group. We are planning to adapt our current
national recruitment campaign ‘When you care, every day makes a difference’ for the
current context, while continuing to highlight opportunities for career development
and progression.</p>
