Launch of Social Care Principles

Launch of Social Care Principles

We are proud to launch the principles that will guide the development of our manifesto for the 2026 Scottish Parliament elections. These principles reflect our commitment to a social care system rooted in dignity, fairness, and sustainability. Over the coming months, we will work closely with our care home and care at home members to shape specific manifesto requests that respond directly to the realities faced by those who provide and rely on care. These requests will highlight the urgent need for political parties to recognise the true cost of delivering high-quality, person-centred care. From fair pay for staff to sustainable funding for providers, our aim is to influence party commitments that reflect the value of care to individuals and to society. Together, we will ensure the voice of social care is heard clearly in the political debate and contributes meaningfully to Scotland’s future.[vc_single_image image=”34623″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”]
