Wiltshire and Swindon Care Skills Partnership (CSP) is a voluntary organisation led and supported by Local Independent Social Care Employers, Wiltshire County Council, Swindon Borough Council and Skills for Care. We are an employment partnership supporting the Social Care Workforce throughout this sub-region of the south west.

Lead representatives from social care associations are member volunteer partners and we meet six times per year as a minimum.  Most functional activity and representation is through the use of Independent, Voluntary and Private (IVP) Sector Development Manager; Mrs Wallace Regelous, whom you can email from here
