Answer
The Government recognises the scale of reforms needed to make the adult social care sector attractive, to support sustainable workforce growth, and improve the retention of the domestic workforce.
We are introducing the first ever Fair Pay Agreement to the adult social care sector, so that care professionals are recognised and rewarded for the important work they do. Fair Pay Agreements will empower worker representatives, employers, and others to negotiate pay, and terms and conditions in a regulated and responsible manner.
