Fair Care for Scotland
Scotland’s social care system urgently needs reform. We demand a £15 minimum wage, pay parity with the NHS, secure contracts, and improved conditions for all care workers. Public, not-for-profit delivery will ensure quality care, stability, and dignity for service users and staff. Join us in calling for a fair, well-funded, and truly transformative Care Service.
Just Transition
