LOBBY DAY 19TH JULY – HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT
Lobby day: 11:00-17:00
Event in the Attlee Suite: 14:00-17:00

The FSCC SOCIAL CARE LOBBY DAY will highlight the lack of capacity in the social care system and the fact that, even before the pandemic and the cost of living crisis hit, there were circa 110,000 vacancies in social care and now the gap is even deeper. Some estimate that there are now up to 150,000 vacancies in social care. It is time to call on the Government to take immediate action and time for a fair deal for social care workers.
