The launch of the National Care Service Pledge by UNISON, the UK's largest public service union, and led by @cmcanea, marked a significant step towards reforming the social care system. The event, attended by key Labour MPs including Wes Streeting, Andrew Gwynne, and Liz Twist, alongside UNISON leaders, highlighted the urgent need for change in how care workers and those receiving care are treated, emphasizing respect and dignity. The pledge, part of the broader #LetsMakeCareWork campaign for a National Care Service, also focuses on ensuring decent pay for careworkers. The summit and parliamentary launch, supported by various MPs, the Fabian Society, and discussions in Peterborough, underscored the commitment to fixing the broken social care system and the intertwined fate of the NHS and social care.
