Really disappointed to see no more than a commitment to the real living wage for the staff that provide such essential life giving and life preserving services across Scotland in today's budget

With briefings for our main office staff this week, it was a good opportunity to tell them about the Coalition of Care & Support Providers #MoreThanWarmWords campaign. They were keen to show their support for our colleagues in direct support roles.

We were delighted to see that last night the Lords amendments on eNICs exemptions for social care went through. Well done and to everyone, including many CCPS members who shared evidence and backed the effort! 👏
