QUARRIERS

Quarriers, a social care charity with a 130-year legacy, experienced significant growth and transformation between 1996 and 2008. Increasing five-fold during this period, Quarriers embraced the principles of a learning organisation by fostering an open culture that values creativity and innovation. The organisation prioritised person-centred values, active involvement, and diversity in its practices. It adopted effective information systems and promoted leadership that supports continuous improvement, allowing for greater flexibility and learning from mistakes, as outlined by the Social Care Institute for Excellence.
