#letsbeheard

Read the Let's Be Heard Report [Sept 2016]

National Care Association polled our membership to ask them how they felt the future looked based on the current climate in social care. The results make difficult reading. 

The purpose of the survey was to ascertain the impact of the changes on care providers on their ability to remain viable whilst delivering the quality of service we demand of them as a society. There have been many reports on the state of the sector from academics and sector commentaries but we were keen to hear the messages from the people who are actually delivering the service and what the future looks like for them. It is really important that the messages in this report are heard and reflected on by all decision makers.

#letsbeheard highlights the desire of small and medium sized providers to be treated in a fair and equitable way. They are telling us that the challenges they face are being ignored and if anything being added to. It is time that people listened to the people who are actually delivering services and not rely on their information being supplied by those who have a view.

National Care Association would like to thank our members who took the time to contribute to #letsbeheard.
