<p>Skills for Care publishes projections of the adult social care workforce and forecasts
the number of adult social care jobs could increase by 31% (500,000 jobs) to around
two million jobs by 2030.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is aware that our challenge,
working alongside stakeholders in the adult social care sector, is to ensure the workforce
has the right number of people to meet increasing demands, with the right skills,
knowledge and behaviours to deliver quality, compassionate care.</p><p> </p><p>That
is why we consulted the sector on the draft Health and Social Care Workforce Strategy.
The results of the consultation will inform both the final strategy and the Green
Paper on care and support for older people, both due later this year.</p>
