Good luck to everyone at #ProvidersUnite march today, including our own senior manager Monique Bentley. Social care matters - it brings joy, security and comfort to the most vulnerable, but Government actions are putting our sector at risk. Social care is a right not a privilege! #WeValueSocialCare

For @ccpscotland.bsky.social members & for clarity @shonarobison.bsky.social: Is the £144m going to councils for NI limited to offsetting costs re public SECTOR jobs? Is the deal linked to lower council tax uplifts? And if yes on point 1, what happened to the Lib Dem deal @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk???
