Providers Unite stands firm with a clear message for government and policymakers. These are our three non-negotiable demands for the future of care and support in the UK.
We urge that no additional direct costs are imposed on the care and support sector by the Chancellor in the 26th November Autumn Statement.
We call on the Treasury to ensure that 100% of the actual cost of implementing the Social Care Fair Pay Agreement must go directly to the people who employ care and support staff not swallowed up in middle layers or commissioning gaps.
We require a guarantee that people who access care and support, unpaid carers and those who we employ, will be at the heart of every reform from workforce pay to service redesign.
We need a commitment to co-design, co-production, and real lived experience shaping the future of social care.
