Members Area – Welcome!
20th August 2016.
Welcome to our new ‘members area’. This is for the exclusive use of Rescare’s membership. We decided to create this area on our website so that members could have access to back-editions of Resnews. You will initially have access to 17 past editions, dating back to Spring 2012 when we first produced our newsletter in the PDF format; future editions of Resnews will also appear here.
We also intend to expand this section during the next few months to include more information about the Care Act and other topics that can affect our members, such as Best Interests and benefits. As always, we welcome feedback and suggestions on how we could improve.

A National Union of Teachers survey showed that the primary reason teachers gave for leaving the profession was the pressures caused by teaching so many special needs in mainstream classes. This is inconvenient truth is overlooked by those claiming that funding is the only problem. The ideology that mainstreaming is best for every child needs challenging.Thank you to everyone who has visited/liked our page.
