It is time to invest in care

We want to see the dignity and rights of carers, care workers and those who may need care upheld and recognised for their true worth and to allow caring for loved ones. 

We want our elected representatives and employers to recognise and value this hidden army – mostly of women – who provide the care that is the infrastructure holding our society together.

We call upon decision-makers and employers to value the caring economy by adequately investing in childcare and early education, social care and ensuring dignity, respect and flexibility across employment to allow for caring.
