Quite simply care providers are at breaking point. The writing is on the wall & without immediate help, as given to NHS, the social care sector will crumple & not be there to support the NHS over the winter let alone in years to come says @ProfMartinGreen @sajidjavid @DHSCgovuk

COVID-19 has led to an estimated 4.5m additional people doing some care work. Chances are that you will find yourself doing similar at some point. Government has a role, but so do employers: ⁦@HarrysPledge⁩ ⁦ https://t.co/nQ76fuyfvF

Older & disabled people have borne the brunt of Covid including the majority of deaths. How can it be right that many have also faced service reductions & extra charges during the lockdowns?

@neilmcrowther No my apologies - poor drafting on my part. Good message from you. Will try not to fumble over words next time 🤭

[Louise Platt @LouiseKnighton]

Our care and support colleagues show such dedication, duty and love for their clients and have battled through months of COVID - now it is time to recognise that #TimeForAFairDeal

[Neil Crowther @neilmcrowther]

The 'social care workforce' is undervalued only because the people they support & the support they provide is undervalued. You can only change the fortunes of the former by shifting perceptions of the latter.

[Louise Platt @LouiseKnighton]

@neilmcrowther No I do Neil - sorry if I was clumsy with my tweeting! Not very practiced at this I’m afraid!
