A Fair Deal for Carers: 2
On 5 February 2023 Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey announced proposals for a new Carer's Minimum Wage, to tackle the huge staff shortages in the social care sector. Under the Liberal Democrat plans, social care workers would be paid at least £2 an hour more than the current minimum wage, bringing their pay up to at least £11.50 an hour today - and £12.42 from this April. The proposals would benefit 850,000 workers, making up more than half of all people working in frontline care.
