Managing care with integrity and commitment
The quality of care depends on the manager. Manging care can be a great job but carries a heavy burden of responsibility.
The ACM raises awareness of the demands and complexity of the manager's role, and supports managers to resist all bureaucratic impositions that divert them from their real task.
The Association of Care Managers
- gives managers a strong voice at national level
- campaigns to reduce bureaucracy and paperwork
- provides professional support to individuals and groups
- promotes and shares good management practice
- will never defend bad practice
ACM members agree to "put the needs, rights and wellbeing of those we care for first."
The Association is headed by John Burton who is well-known and widely respected as a writer and independent consultant. John has managed several care homes, been an inspector, teacher and lecturer, and has also worked directly with children, older people and adults with many different needs. John holds advanced qualifications in social work, counselling, public policy, management and organisational consultancy, and he is a Fellow of the School for Social Entrepreneurs.
