The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) is a not-for-profit independent social care charity.

We collaborate and innovate in social care to improve people’s lives, adults and children, working with a wide range of partners and people with lived experience.

We do this by providing innovative consultancy, expert training, extensive resources and information and evidence-based insights.

Safeguarding

Our collection of training, improvement support, consultancy and resources is designed to help local authorities, health and care providers, safeguarding boards, churches and faith groups to safeguard those at risk.

Accelerating Reform Fund programme

The Accelerating Reform Fund (ARF) is a programme of funding from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) that aims to improve the quality and accessibility of adult social care across England. This will be done by supporting innovation and scaling, and kickstarting a change in services to support unpaid carers.

SCIE is the official hands-on support provider to all projects funded by the ARF. We are working with all local authorities involved to share learnings and expert insights and facilitate peer support.
