Terapad.com is the next generation of online publishing solutions, developed by SiteJourney Ltd. Terapad’s system enables anyone to set up their own website in a matter of minutes.

Online help for social care organisations The Social Care Institute for Excellence is delighted to announce that it will distribute £12 million of investment grants, supporting care providers who don’t currently have good access to the internet. The two-year programme will enable adult care and support providers to access information and communication more effectively. Get Connected will enable improved access for staff, people who use services and carers, so they can use the internet to communicate, learn and train. Computer literacy, and the internet in particular, are transforming the way we communicate, learn and work. It follows on from the successful launches of SCIE’s Social Care TV and the Dementia Gateway. Leading charities in the field Lasa and Charity Technology Trust are providing support to ‘Get Connected.’ Lasa will bring technical advice and resources to the project, whilst CTT will be managing the grant-making aspects of the project.
