💡 Member Spotlight: Looking back on Storm Éowyn, @sensescotland.bsky.social CEO Angela Bonomy explains how social care staff give their all to ensure people they support are safe.

So isn't it time they received a fair wage?

A purple card with a heading in white letters which says ‘Member Spotlight: Sense Scotland’, followed by a quote below which reads: “I hope you will join me and CCPS in calling for the Scottish Government to invest more in the social care sector and reward staff proportionately to their efforts. We can’t control the weather. But we can all play our part in making sure social care staff get what they deserve – a fair wage.” The quote is attributed at the bottom to Angela Bonomy, CEO of Sense Scotland. A picture of Angela is on the left of the quote. There is a graphic of a spotlight at the top right, with the light from it shining down onto Angela’s quote, and some concentric circles underneath. The CCPS logo is featured at the bottom right.

Happy Friday! Each week, we're sharing a handwritten message from one of our members about why they value social care and support. 👇

"I will need it some day!"

#MemberVoices #TrueValue #WhyIValueSocialCareFridays
An image showing a white card tilted on a light green background, with illustrations of loudspeakers and circles in the corners. At the top of the card there is a heading in purple text which reads, ‘I value social care and support because…’ and underneath, a handwritten message reads: ‘I will need it some day!’. The messages are from a CCPS event in May 2024 at which members’ views on the true value of social care were captured. CCPS is sharing the messages to promote the voice of our members and raise awareness of the true value of social care.

We are deeply disappointed that in yesterday’s
@houseofcommons.parliament.uk debate amendments which would have exempted social care providers from the eNICs rise were not passed.

💬“At a time when organisations and employees are already under immense pressure, these increases would exacerbate existing challenges, jeopardising recruitment, retention, and service quality.”

A massive collective call out of concern and anger from @ccpscotland.bsky.social members to @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @anassarwar.bsky.social please please rethink eNICs for social care providers of crucial public services. Consequences of not doing so are profoundly awful 👇👇

A quote in bold white lettering which says "This policy will not save public services. It will crush them." The lettering is over four decks and sits on top of an orange background, with concentric illustrated circles (representing CCPS's brand) in the top left and right and bottom left corners of the image.
