A care worker has gone to tell MPS and the House of Commons that now is the time for them to move past the idea that those who work in homecare or even in private nursing are not unskilled. Those who offer bespoke care packages, nurses who support mental health and even social workers are certainly valued members of the community and they deserve to be treated as such. The committee have examined some of the issues that come with retention and training. They have also examining the issues that come with social care as well. Ms Baker has confirmed that the label is often given to carer workers as they are unskilled and that this can have very negative connotations for those who work in the profession. They do not feel as though they are valued and they feel as though the challenges that they face right now is that there are not enough people to go around at all. The demand for care workers is so high and something about this needs to change.

Administrative care in people’s homes means that people are not able to monitor their care or the situation that they are in. They cannot reach out to people who are not quite themselves and sometimes things can go wrong. This is why healthcare professionals are often contacted quite early so that any effects that are recognised do not go unnoticed. They have a vital role to play when it comes to people getting the care they need and right now, the wage that they are getting is not enough to cover the rising fuel costs and if anything, this is pushing people away from the profession. This will go on to have devastating effects in the future if it is not dealt with.
