Ladder for the Black Country: Schools and colleges support Day of Remembrance
The Social Care Day of Remembrance and Reflection today has been organised by Skills for Care in collaboration with 20 other partners across the social care sector and is supported by the Ladder for The Black Country and the Black Country Skills Factory.
Schools and colleges in the Black Country were invited to support the event using the theme of flowers to say thank you and remember those who have worked in adult social care throughout the pandemic.
St Paul’s Primary School in Tipton students have produced and created a range of posters, Green Park School Wolverhampton created a 3-D poster and Wolverhampton College students created flower themed walls.
You can upload individual messages of remembrance and thanks on the memorial walls of the Care Workers Charity website at thecareworkerscharity.org.uk/covid-19-tribute/
