Mencap have Urged the Government to Tackle the Crisis for Social Workers

The government have gone and announced a lot of new training opportunities for those who work in social care. A charity has warned that the sector could risk losing a lot of their dedicated staff this way. The government are working on introducing a support package and that they have hundreds of thousands of training courses available for people to take part in. if you work in homecare, or if you offer bespoke care packages then you will know how much of an amazing movement this is. If you work in private nursing as social workers or if you offer mental health support, then this is also a fantastic movement for you.

Matthew Harrison who works with public affairs has said that it is social workers who always put their lives on the line and that this is especially the case with the pandemic. Everyone has said that they deserve better but at the ed of the day not much has changed. Care workers have to make sure that they are receiving a wage that helps them to reflect the work that they do. At the end of the day, love and loyalty do not help toward the bills and if this kind of risk is not tackled right away then the sectors that we need the most may be affected. If wages are not supported or if those who have a disability are not helped, then this could have major consequences. This cannot be allowed to happen at the end of the day. People know how hard social care staff work and they also know how important it is to get staff the training that they need as well. A new framework has to be introduced to make sure that this is the case and there is also going to be a lot of training for staff too.
