It's still Unfair To Care.

Despite the Support Worker role proven to be "skilled, accountable and complex", frontline care and support workers are still being paid 36% less than their equivalents in the NHS.

Three years on from our original Unfair To Care report, recruitment and retention in social care remains one of the biggest challenges facing society today. With over 152,000 vacancies and a turnover rate of 28.3%, it's never been more clear that low pay is a false economy that needs to end.

As we enter a pivotal election year, 'Who Cares Wins' - Unfair To Care 2024 presents an undisputable case for change. A 2.6 million strong 'social care vote' could be a critical factor in determining the outcome of the 2024 General Election. Our message is clear... WHO CARES WINS

'Who Cares Wins' - Unfair To Care 2024 highlights that in this pivotal election year there is growing public, sector, and political support for change. Using groundbreaking data, we make an evidence-based case for investing in fair pay that politicians cannot ignore.

Our message is clear: Who Cares Wins.

“Would you do a job as a care worker for £18,000 a year?” asks #BBCLauraK

Rishi Sunak replies “The job I’m doing is making a difference to the country as prime minister” https://t.co/bMhfo30vCv

[Community Integrated Care @ComIntCare]

Great to see @bbclaurak tackle low-pay in #socialcare with the PM.

Care workers play a vital role in society. Our https://t.co/183Ue1GwiM report highlights how skilled, complex & accountable these roles truly are.

📢 They deserve to be paid fairly for their life-changing work.

[Femi @Femi_sorry]

Laura Kuenssberg: Maybe social care would improve is care workers weren't struggling on £18,000 / year.

Rishi Sunak: What if we gave them a SENSE that they're being paid more?

#BBCLauraK: Would you work for £18,000?

Rishi Sunak: Look Laura! My job actually matters!!

📉 Unfair To Care reveals that support workers are paid £8,000 less than their NHS equivalents.

🐢 It will take 23 years - an entire generation - for support workers to achieve parity.

Support us in fixing this crisis in #socialcare. Take action today 👉 https://t.co/k5WWdIo2Dr

[Danielle Chan @DanielleKAChan]

Hello @KimJohnsonMP Social care workers can’t wait 23 years to be paid the same as their NHS peers. The Government need to play fair and pay fair. What action will you take? Learn more in the @ComIntCare #UnfairToCare report https://t.co/9LheTAlDfQ
