The deadline for responding to the Call for Evidence (Consultation) to the Mental Capacity Act Code of Practice is 7th March and fast approaching. The Code of Practice affects everyone working in social care. If you work in social care and haven’t responded because you haven’t had time, don’t really understand how to or not sure what difference you can make, please join our webinar at 1pm – 2pm on 4th March. Manor Community have joined up with Mental Health Lawyers to provide a forum for discussion and information on the Code of Practice. We will be encouraging people to bring ideas on how to improve the Code and we will collate these for a joint response, so if you’ve not had time to respond, don’t worry, we can do this for you. Alternatively, this webinar will help you make your own submission before the deadline.

Speakers will include Steven Richards – Director at Edge Training:

'Steven is a Director of Edge training and consultancy and has worked in the mental health field for over 20 years, both for the NHS and voluntary sector. He has been an in-patient advocate for Mind working across adult, older persons and PICU wards and as an advocate represented directly before the Court of Protection.' http://www.edgetraining.org.uk/


and Mik Alban, Development Director at Care and Support West:

'Proven track record of representation, negotiation, service development and operational management. Commitment to best practice, continuous improvement, developing core documentation and establishing effective working cultures ' https://www.careandsupportwest.com/


We want to make the consultation response as accurate and beneficial as possible, it is an important change that will affect a lot of people, so save the date, get ready to join and please share the details or a link to this blog to as many industry professionals and stakeholders as you can!

The presentation and questions from the group will be recorded on the day.

Blog from our HR & Recruitment Co-ordinator

By Nicole Thant • March 25, 2025
My name is Kanika Akinshegun. I started at Manor Community In Jan 2025 as a HR & Recruitment Co-ordinator. I have been in recruitment for over 5 years, and I really enjoy engaging with people and helping them to make their next career choice. Often the candidate experience shapes the way a company is perceived, and I always work hard to ensure the first experience someone gets is a positive one. My aim at Manor Community is to ensure we employ the best people for our services, where caring comes naturally to them, in turn making the best experience for our clients. Going forward I plan on working towards attending relevant recruitment events, with amazing merchandise, ensuring the recruitment is streamlined, cost effective and we plan to ensure we have the right people in place at the right time! Outside of recruitment I have an 8-year-old son, and a cat called Sonic. I love art and paint on canvases using oil paints as a way of relaxing. I love working out and enjoy making up new workout routines to release those endorphins. The best kind of recruitment is word of mouth so if you know anyone you can refer to me, please let me know!

A cute little visitor at Firgrove House

By Nicole Thant • March 18, 2025
Today, our residents were in for a special treat when a little puppy named Teddy paid us a visit! With his soft fur, big eyes, and wagging tail, Teddy quickly won the hearts of everyone in the room, bringing a wave of joy and comfort to our residents. For many of our residents, it’s been a while since they’ve had the company of a furry friend, and Teddy’s playful energy was a breath of fresh air. As he trotted around, curious and excited, many of our residents couldn't help but smile and reach out to pet him. The simple act of stroking his soft fur seemed to lift their spirits and spark memories of their own beloved pets from years ago.

Working in Care and Support

By Nicole Thant • March 11, 2025
What seems like an age ago now I first got interested in working in the social care sector working with adults with learning difficulties in the land-based industry. Right from the start I could see the benefits this sector has mainly, obviously to the individuals using a service – improving knowledge, confidence and having a purpose to get up for. After many courses/qualifications and throughout the decades I pursued this sector, again working with adults and young people in different settings including residential and supported living, not only in the land-based sector but supporting people in their communities. Fast track to the present day and Manor Community. I have been working for Manor for roughly seven years, with a slight hiatus after four years, believe me the grass isn’t always greener. Today my passion for helping people with learning difficulties and mental health issues remains the same, albeit there have been some knocks and falls but after self-reflection and kind words of encouragement you get up and carry on. Presently at Manor I have progressed through the ranks as a senior. I was thrilled to get the role as it shows that I’m valued within the company. No two days of my working week are the same, I could be completing audits or assisting colleagues with their work one day, to supporting individuals for appointments and social scenarios or pulling my hair out trying to get through bureaucratic (external agencies) red tape ensuring individuals are treated as equals. Occasionally I go home frustrated, but more often I go home satisfied I have made a positive difference to someone’s day.

Continuing our feedback series, we are delighted to shine a well-deserved spotlight on the incredible care workers who make Manor a truly special place. At Manor, we believe that every member of our team plays a vital role in creating a supportive and nurturing environment for our residents. Our care workers are at the heart of this effort, working tirelessly day and night with unwavering dedication, compassion, and skill. They go beyond just providing care—they build relationships, offer comfort, and ensure that each resident feels valued, respected, and safe. Their efforts create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where families can feel at ease, knowing their loved ones are in the best possible hands.
