You cannot create the conditions for good public services without us @RachelReevesMP Investment in social care is a moral duty and a failure to recognise the essential nature of our sectors support to thousands of people in Scotland will have serious consequences 👇@ccpscotland
A massive collective voice from @ccpscotland members. Don’t mistake just how concerned our sector is. And angry. 👇👇👇 @RachelReevesMP @ShonaRobison @IanMurrayMP @AngelaRayner @scvotweet @neilcgray @AnasSarwar @IanMWelsh Pls rethink @UKLabour

A timely reminder of the challenges facing third sector providers in delivering the very best support they can to a wide range of people living in our communities. People should be supported to live their best lives, & the staff doing this skilled, complex work, fairly rewarded

Brilliant to see this becoming a reality! And delighted to be part of such a fabulous resource supporting young people in the Highlands. Looking forward to continuing our partnership with @enfhaven @InvernessSnap
We are beyond excited to share these photos! Together with @InvernessSnap, we're part of a brilliant project, led by the @enfhaven, to bring The Haven Centre, a specialist resource for young disabled people, to the Highlands. And, yesterday was key handover day! 🤩🙌

Improving pay for all social care workers needs to happen now, not later! Urgent action is needed in order for our workforce to be valued in relation to the work they do. 👇
📢 New blog: “The days of 'jam tomorrow' promises on social care and support in this country are over. It's time to act” After @HumzaYousaf's statement to Holyrood, read a response from our CEO @r_cackett: tinyurl.com/3wtaupxu @MathesonMichael @MareeToddMSP @scotgov
