Commenting on the impact the challenging weather conditions are having, Scottish Care National Director Karen Hedge:
“Our members have described urging their staff to take extra precautions such as ensuring they can travel safely, wearing appropriate clothing, carrying emergency items and making sure their phones are charged. It’s at times like this we feel humbled by our care workers who go above and beyond, battling with Mother Nature at all times of the day and night to ensure that the most vulnerable citizens in Scotland are safe and cared for.”
