Celebrating growth in care - Switch Direction sponsors Professional Development award at Suffolk Care Awards
The Suffolk Care Awards is a respected annual event dedicated to recognising the outstanding contributions of professionals in the care sector. This year, the event is proud to announce that Switch Direction, an Ipswich-based training company, is sponsoring the Professional Development Award. This award celebrates a team member or leader who is a passionate advocate for professional development, demonstrating a commitment to personal growth and the advancement of their colleagues and clients.
Recognising the power of Professional Development
The Professional Development Award acknowledges individuals who have not only sought to improve their own skills and knowledge but have also encouraged and facilitated the development of others. This dedication to growth benefits the entire care team and improves the quality of care provided to clients. Such individuals play a crucial role in fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement within their organisations.
Dan Cocksedge, the founder of Switch Direction, shares his enthusiasm for this sponsorship, saying, "I love learning and appreciate the difference it makes in my life. Learning new skills can make you feel empowered and confident and improve your feeling of self-value. Switch Direction believes everyone can reach their potential with the right training and support. The criteria of this award reflects the ethos and beliefs of Switch Direction - celebrating the positive change, positive impact, and improvements that can be achieved through learning."
