๐ณ๏ธ Today, we urge MPs to vote in favour of crucial amendments to the National Insurance Bill to exempt social care organisations from increased employee contributions.

An image showing a white card tilted on a purple background, with illustrations of loudspeakers and circles in the corners. At the top of the card there is a heading in purple which reads, โI value social care and support becauseโฆโ and underneath, a handwritten message in dark green, which reads: โPeople matter!โ The messages are from a CCPS event in May 2024 at which membersโ 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.
Last year, we invited our members to share the reasons why they value social care and support. โ๏ธ
Every Friday, we share one of their messages. This weekโs is simple but true:
โPeople matter!โ
