#ProvidersUnite


 
25th February 2025 London, Westminster – 10.30am
 
The time to unite is now!


With 2,950 supporters signed up to Providers Unite, over 1,000 active members in our WhatsApp group, and full support from national representative organisations, we are standing together as a sector to demand action. 
 
Social care is at breaking point. NHS pressures are growing, and funding continues to fall short. 
 
 
The Day of Action is our chance to make our voices heard.
 
How to get involved:


• Share this post with your network to amplify the message.
• Confirm your attendance at the Day of Action.
• Join the movement: 
https://www.providersunite.co.uk/


Can’t make it in person? Show your support by signing the letter to Chancellor Rachel Reeves, urgently calling for an immediate review of these measures and for the establishment of exemptions similar to those granted to the NHS. Alternatively, we ask that she adjusts Local Government Finance to bridge this funding gap.


You can also show your support by donating to help others get there.
 
Together, we can be a powerful voice for social care reform. 
 
Let’s make history on 25th February!

Published July 2025 (data correct as at 2024/25) Skills for Care have launched their annual report on the size and structure of ythe care workforce This provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the size and structure of the adult social care sector and workforce in England. A short, written report is available: download a copy of the report here. The methodology for this year’s report has changed from previous years. Adult social care related roles employed by the NHS are no longer included in the headline statistics for the size of the adult social care workforce. This change has been applied retrospectively to previous years, so the trends in this report are consistent. Comparing figures from this report to previous reports will not produce a valid trend. Also, our estimates for the number of filled posts in the independent sector now come from our automated data pipeline. This has resulted in substantial improvements to our estimates over time and some figures have changed as a result from previous versions of this report. For further information, see our statement.  To download the data behind the visualisation below, including trended information, please see the Workforce estimates page.

What is happening with the Fair Pay Agreement for adult social care webinar On Tuesday 15 July 2025, Skills for Care was joined by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to share an overview of the Fair Pay Agreement (FPA) for adult social care. During the webinar, colleagues at DHSC explained what a FPA is, why it is being introduced and what this means for the sector. Details about the Employment Rights Bill and how this provides the legislative framework for FPAs were also shared. The webinar explored how the Government has been engaging with the sector so far, and ways in which those working in adult social care can get involved, including plans for a public consultation later this year. The event concluded with a Q and A A recording of the webinar is now available for you to view.
