⚠️Tomorrow @houseoflords.parliament.uk will vote on amendments to the eNICs legislation that could lead to exemptions and a review of its impact on our sector.

Unless the Bill is changed, the consequences for social care in Scotland and across the UK will be devastating.

A light green warning symbol on the left, beside large text reading “Time is Running Out for the UK Parliament to stand up for social care”. The CCPS logo is in the top left corner.

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.

With the eNICs Bill nearing its final stages @houseoflords.parliament.uk, we support @providersunite.bsky.social in urging all parliamentarians to #ValueSocialCare. 👇

And we call on Rachel Reeves to reconsider and exempt social care providers. #ProvidersUnite

💚Social care is essential.

It contributes £68.1 billion annually to the UK economy, employs 1.59 million people, and supports thousands of indirect jobs.

Let’s ensure its value is recognized. Share your voice! #ValueSocialCare #ProvidersUnite

NfP social care providers in Scotland face an extra bill of around £30 million to cover the NI rate rise & the threshold reduction. Money they do not have, and have no means to raise.

A series of concentric purple circles, in an illustrated style, on a white background. In the centre is a filled-in purple circle featuring white text which reads ‘Estimated cost of National Insurance changes to CCPS member organisations in 2025-26: £30m’, with the £30m figure highlighted in green. The CCPS logo is at the top left of the image.

Read our letter to the Chancellor:

And a key point about the size of the bill providers face if the NI policy goes ahead. 👇

@ruthdorman.bsky.social @swbg.bsky.social @sensescotland.bsky.social @sacroscotland.bsky.social @includem.bsky.social
A text box with a white background which reads: “We estimate our community of not-for-profit providers alone will face an additional bill in the region of £30 million next year to cover the NI rate increase and the threshold reduction. This is money we do not have, nor money we can see any means to secure.” Below which it says ‘Extract from CCPS’s letter to the Chancellor, signed by 80+ leaders in Scotland’s not-for-profit social care sector.’ The messages are sitting on top of an orange background with concentric illustrated circles in three corners of the image, and CCPS’s logo at the bottom right.
