Training: Social Care and digital
Welcome to our social care page. Do you want to learn more about how digital technology can support people receiving social care in the community or in care homes? We believe that being online and using new technology can complement services delivered to improve quality of life and encourage independent living.
The rapid growth in digital technologies offers amazing opportunities for people to participate in their care and improve their health and well-being. There is a serious risk that people who are not online will be left behind. The Digital Communities Wales programme can offer support to your organisation to help address this, please get in touch for more information.
This guide has been created by Digital Communities Wales and partners to provide care homes with the information required to understand how digital technology can be used.
