The Social Franchise Relationship

The CASA franchise relationship is underpinned by our social values, and of course makes good commercial sense. All CASA Units therefore join the CASA Panel. Here, all units get the chance to share experiences, get involved in training and professional development and, of course, to have some fun! The Panel also has the function of electing two of its own to represent the units on CASA’s Board of Directors.

The Panel is the way in which the CASA Group really articulates its voice to policy makers and the outside world – to become the democratising force of the Home-Care Sector.
