Ewan King, CEO at Shared Lives Plus becomes new chair of the Care Provider Alliance
This week Shared Lives Plus’s CEO Ewan King, has been welcomed as the new chair of The Care Provider Alliance (CPA) – a coalition of adult social care providers in England working in partnership to inform, influence and co-ordinate responses across the sector.
The CPA represent private, voluntary and community sector care providers in England, with some members (such as Shared Lives Plus) also representing services in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland. The CPA speaks for the whole of the adult social care sector, including care homes; home care services; housing with care; integrated retirement communities; Shared Lives schemes and Shared Lives carers; services for people with learning disabilities and autism; mental health and community-based support.
Ewan said,
“This is a crucial time for adult social care, and I will strive to amplify the voices of everyone connected to social care and support, and continue to make the case for a sustainable, diverse, and high-quality care and support sector which enables people, whatever their backgrounds, to live the best lives possible. We are all exceedingly grateful to outgoing Chair, Professor Vic Rayner OBE, for her superb leadership over the last year, and to the small admin team who continue to go above and beyond to support us on a limited part-time basis.”
The Care Provider Alliance is an informal body, members take it in turns to lead the CPA with the Chair changing each year.
