The End Social Care Disgrace campaign is a non party political alliance calling for radical change to social care. We want to get the market out of social care and make support free at the point of use. Disabled and older people, families and communities must shape what is needed to ensure everyone is enabled to have choice, dignity, and control over their lives. We must end discrimination and dismantle barriers to access. We also want care and support work and the contribution made by informal carers properly valued and supported.

We are calling for a National Care, Support and Independent Living Service which will be:

  • Publicly funded, free at the point of use
  • Publicly provided, not for profit
  • Nationally mandated but designed and delivered locally
  • Co-Produced with service users and democratically accountable
  • Underpinned by staff whose pay and conditions reflect true value and skills
  • Designed to meet needs of informal carers
  • Informed by a task force on independent living led by user controlled groups from diverse backgrounds

We may have a short window to make a massive difference. Please get involved, support and spread our campaign.
