Care providers can now order free CARE badges for their staff

Care providers in England can now order free CARE badges for their staff from an online ordering service.

The Department of Health and Social Care is providing free badges to staff employed across the adult social care sector to recognise their critical work, particularly during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Employers should click on Order now to go to APS's ordering site (ADS are delivering the badges on behalf of DHSC).

DHSC say care providers should:

  • Order one CARE badge per current staff member.
  • Ensure one person orders CARE badges for their entire organisation, including multiple locations, so they can be distributed internally.

DHSC has also issued guidance on using the CARE brand, with downloadable logos and brand guidelines explaining who can use the CARE identity and how it should be applied.
