Provide fair pay, entitlements and training for care and support workers in UK.
Increase minimum wage in line with the equivalent NHS staff.
Increase entitlements for overtime, unsocial, weekends and bank holidays in line with the equivalent NHS staff.
Establish a National Body to support and regulate the Social Care industry training standards to provide uniformity.
Care and support workers urgently need fair pay, entitlements and training as they provide an essential service supporting and caring for the most vulnerable members of society.
Often struggling to survive with low wages, little to no entitlements and low quality training which hinders their ability to upskill and progress in their careers.
The government must act now to ensure care and support workers are supported and appreciated so that they can deliver high-quality care to those in need.
