We have a desperate shortage of care workers. This has a catastrophic effect on the NHS too.

Labour’s decision to close the care worker visa scheme for overseas recruitment is appalling, kneejerk politics that - yet again - will penalise the most vulnerable.

Left: Yvette Cooper, "We will be closing the care worker visa as well"

Right: House of Commons Library, "131,000 vacancies for care workers"

It really makes no sense, with over 140,00 vacancies in social care, politicians seem to have such disregard for the people, jobs, social care sector, they will soon find a much bigger problem than nhs waiting lists exploding #RightsForResidents
Any politician who wants to ban migration for care homes should be forced to wait 9 hours for the toilet. I imagine pandering to anti-immigration groups would then feel as painful and illogical as it does to disabled and older people left without care workers. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Hi everyone! Some of you may remember me from that other place (X). I'm still posting there but missing some folk who moved here only so I'll be running on both just now. I'm a career care home gal, passionate about changing the image of care homes. Spread the news that I'm here now!

Today is a #dayofreflection. We remember the #carehome residents, our loved ones lost. Through the pain and anger there is also friendship and a determination to make sure that never again can this happen. The legal right to a #CareSupporter must become law #GloriasLaw #RightsForResidents

An interesting read. 5 years on, we reflect on the lives lost and continued fight to get #GloriasLaw, the legal right to a #CareSupporter. For those in care, to have been separated from the people who knew them the best for such an extended time, we must never allow this again #RightsForResidents
