Drastic underfunding and wholesale privatisation of so called Social “Care” is condemning many people to a life of indignity, isolation, neglect and even maltreatment. Social care services are close to collapse. Join us to explore how to reverse privatisation and secure quality, stable, publicly funded and accountable social care services for all.
We will explore the current situation, the policy issues and campaigning opportunities. It will be an exciting and challenging day!
