We Respond to Fair Pay Agreement Consultation

Community Integrated Care has submitted its organisational response to the Government’s consultation on the proposed Fair Pay Agreement (FPA) for adult social care – a national agreement aimed at establishing fair pay and working conditions across the adult social care sector.

Over the past four months, the Government has invited views on how the Fair Pay Agreement (FPA) for adult social care should be developed, negotiated, and implemented. This consultation sought input from care providers, frontline colleagues, and people who draw on social care. As a charity that has long advocated for fairer recognition and reward for the social care workforce through our Unfair To Care campaign, we welcome the progress being made to address this crucial sector-wide issue.

Alongside our organisational submission, we also empowered our GameChangers, a representative network of colleagues from across our charity, to shape and submit their own response. Their contribution ensures that the voices of our workforce are clearly and authentically represented within the consultation process.

In the coming months, we will further support our Quality Advisors, people we support who are trained and employed as ‘experts by experience’, to share their insights. Their response will ensure that the voices of people with lived experience of social care are included within the Easy Read version of the Adult Social Care Fair Pay Agreement consultation, which remains open until Friday 6th March.
