The first DSPT Summit for the Northwest was held on 23rd January 2024. In collaboration with Better Security, Better Care, Skills For Care, and National Care Forum, we hosted care providers, local authority members and several key stakeholders to initiate insightful discussions around the DSPT.

LSCP Update
It is with regret and deep sadness that we must inform you of the death of Mikaela Williams-Brown, Operations Director here at LSCP.
Mikaela was a remarkable woman who loved her work, cared passionately about the sector and so was equally passionate about promoting service quality through enabling a skilled and committed workforce.
She was a force of nature who impacted positively on the lives and work of all those she touched and she will be missed, profoundly.
We will continue to work hard to provide all our services to you, but please bear with us at this time.
