Introducing the Scottish Care Manifesto – Care Creates…
Care Creates… is our invitation to Scotland to view adult social care support through a lens of opportunity. The Scottish Care Manifesto sets out a practical, hopeful roadmap for a system that places dignity, independence and wellbeing at its heart and recognises social care support as essential public infrastructure that enables people and communities to thrive.
The manifesto is built around six opportunities:
- Rights at the heart of social care support
- Fair pay, fair work, fair care
- Integration
- Future‑ready care
- Investing in care like it matters
- Care that cares for the people and planet
We are calling for decisive action, bold investment and ethical commissioning to make social care support valued, visible, viable and visionary across Scotland.
This agenda aligns with the our wider reframing work to move the public conversation beyond crisis, emphasising interdependence, fairness and wellbeing and showing how social care support creates the foundations of a fairer, healthier Scotland.
Care Creates… opportunity – for people, for communities, for Scotland.
It creates rights upheld, skilled jobs, collaboration and trust, digital empowerment, investment with impact, and climate‑conscious care.
It creates a system that matters, and a future we can build together.
