Staff at Training in Care, based on Charlotte Street, in South Shields, are celebrating securing an award for work to help tackle the nation’s social care crisis.
The organisation was recognised as the Best Care Sector Training Provider at the 2025 Northern Enterprise Awards last month.
The award acknowledged Training in Care’s “unwavering commitment to delivering training that makes a real difference for both care providers and the professionals they support.”
Over the last 26 years, Training in Care has helped more than 2,500 people enter the care sector - with the company continuing to update its courses to remain current, compliant and aligned with best practice.
Dr Angela Brown, CEO of Training in Care, has stated that the company has secured the top award due to the work that the team carry out on a daily basis.
She said: “This award recognises the dedication of our team and the many care providers, managers and learners we work with every day.
“Our approach is centred on understanding an organisation’s culture, values and challenges, which then allows us to design training that is relevant, meaningful and immediately impactful, and this award is testament that.
“It is a fantastic achievement for the team and the amazing work they day day-in, day-out, to ensure the nation’s carers are equipped with the skills and knowledge required to provide the best possible care.”
Training in Care is now hoping to build on this success during 2026 as it launches new courses and expansions into new markets.
Dr Brown added: “We expanded into Surrey last year and have even great plans afoot this year to continue growing our presence in the UK.
“In partnership with the University of Sunderland and backed by funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, we also began delivering a series of business-to-business courses to employers in the North East last year, which proved a huge hit.
