Tomorrow, 780,000 #socialcare staff will get a pay rise to bring them up to the new level of the minimum wage. That’s great news for them but also a marker of how poorly paid they were before. And it masks other pay-related issues showing the weakness of the sector. Thread ⬇️

The #King'sFund report on #adultsocialcare shows 23/24 was the first since 15/16 where local authorities spent more on social care. They increased the number of people being supported due to significant increase in local authority spending power.
