We are the trees that bend in the wind: watch our animation


This week, we published our new report on the role of social care staff in palliative and end of life care.

This animation “We are the trees that bend in the wind”, pulls together what we learned from the 50 people we interviewed.

People told us that the role is challenging and often undervalued, but that it can be immensely rewarding to be with someone at the end of their life. We have made recommendations  a series of recommendations on how front line social care staff can be better supported to deliver this role.

You can learn more by reading the full report.
