Expectations of the social care workforce

This report looks at workforce expectations for a strategy for adult social care. The key themes emerging from the report are: pay and conditions; training; career development; regulation and registration; equality, diversity and inclusion; mental and physical health; and leadership and management. It was widely agreed across stakeholder policy and literature that pay and conditions need to be improved for the social care workforce. There were also some arguments for linking pay scales to the NHS Agenda for Change pay bands or to living wage levels.
