Buying an Inform licence
Organisational subscriptions
Community Care Inform is typically purchased via an organisational subscription. This means that throughout England and Wales, we partner with local authorities, NHS trusts, universities, colleges and charities to support their workforces, enabling high-quality social work practice and education.
There are a range of organisational subscription options, enabling you to provide access to all or some of your workforce and take advantage of different additional services, based on your specific objectives and needs. Find out more by calling or emailing our helpdesk:

Individual subscriptions
If you are an independent or agency social work professional, you can still access Community Care Inform by purchasing an individual licence for personal access.
Before you buy: we work with a large number of local authorities and universities directly so we would strongly recommend first contacting your manager, principal social worker or learning and development team to check whether you could already have access to a licence through your organiation. Alternatively, you can contact our helpdesk for further information:
