About WAGS

“Through conversations with our readers there is an overwhelming message that recognising the role of women leaders in social care at all levels should be part of a national agenda.

Many of our women leaders have risen through the ranks from a frontline care role, going on to lead managers of the future through experience, and by example. The value of having worked on the frontline cannot be underestimated and is a key driver in continuing to achieve great things at leadership level.”

Lisa Carr, Editor, Care Talk

Care Talk magazine are pleased to announce an exciting new collaboration, Women Achieving Greatness in Social Care (WAGS).

The value of women coming together cannot be underestimated. The purpose of WAGS is to create an informal forum of women leaders from all areas of social care. Through campaigns and a programme of networking and social events WAGS will bring together women leaders who work in all areas of social care, in all job roles, creating a movement to inspire women leaders of tomorrow and providing a platform for support, empowerment and real change for the sector. This unique initiative will culminate in a Gala Awards which will celebrate the achievements of women in social care.

Over 85% of the social care workforce is female. Many of these hard working, dedicated and talented women juggle the challenges of family life with their career. The purpose of the WAGS is to promote gender equity and promote and celebrate the incredible achievements of our female workforce.
