As part of the #CareCannotWait campaign, we are calling on the government to:
1. Recognise and Respect Social Care
Social care is essential to our society. 4 in 5 people will need care in their
lifetime. We ensure dignity and independence for millions. It’s time
policymakers acknowledged our true value.
2. Deliver a Fully Funded Fair Pay Agreement for Social Care Workers
With 5.8% of the UK workforce in social care, more than in the NHS, our staff
deserve fair pay that reflects their skill, dedication, and essential role.
3. Secure Sustainable Investment for Community Care
Rising costs and changes to local government and health finances threaten
the future of care. Without urgent investment, millions risk losing access to vital support.
Invest in community care now to protect lives and futures.
