The Social Care Commitment is a voluntary agreement about the adult social care workforce quality in England. Its primary purpose is to ensure public confidence that people who need care and support services will always be supported by skilled people who treat them with dignity and respect. Employers promise to give their workers the development they need and staff promise to put social care values into practice in their daily work.

The document explains in detail what each statement means and which tasks may be completed to ensure the commitment is met.
