‘Care Voices’ collaboration launched to bring care workers, people who draw on care and providers together
Care Voices – A collaboration between The Care Workers’ Charity (The CWC) and Providers Unite – has been launched.
Care Voices brings together care workers, people who draw on care and care providers in a national initiative designed to strengthen communication, community, and collective advocacy across the social and health care workforce. Care Voices is aiming to create a shared space where experiences can be heard, barriers reduced and collaborative solutions found.
Karolina Gerlich, CEO of The Care Workers’ Charity, says:
“We are launching Care Voices because the social and health care workforce needs a national platform that genuinely listens, understands, and responds to their lived experience.
Our first campaign focus on internationally recruited care workers is vital: no other part of the workforce has faced such rapid, disproportionate, and destabilising policy changes. But this initiative is about far more than one group. When any section of the workforce is undermined, the whole care system becomes less stable, less safe, and less fair. Care Voices will ensure that those delivering care every day finally have a collective space to speak, be heard and influence the policies that shape their work, their lives, and the quality-of-care people receive.”
