The Outstanding Society
In 2021 the Outstanding Society (OS) was set up as a Community Interest Company (CIC).
This was to provide a platform to share and celebrate best practice whilst helping others to improve and raise the profile of Social Care.
Our joint vision as Directors is to give Providers Free membership which will allow access to our virtual events, newsletters, podcasts and the OS app. It will provide a platform for all providers to access topical information and will also be a platform to celebrate innovation and share best practice.
We continue to have close partnerships with Care England, Skills for care, the Care Workers Charity and the DHSC.
You do not need to have an Outstanding rating to become a member we are open to anyone who currently works in Social Care or is considering joining this rewarding sector.
