Good to see @unison.org.uk's social care lead, Gavin Edwards at the table of the Care Workers' Parliament!
MEP @spietikainen.bsky.social joins the opening of the Care Workers’ Parliament, saying “Real change means investing in people, in numbers, in quality work – proper pay, more hands, real appreciation.”
We’re now hearing the real stories behind today’s resolution - and the change they really need.
