and the tories want to drive down what they called low-skilled immigration.
how does this square with growing social care needs.
I have come across many careworkers, over 90% are immigrants. also think of hospital cleaners, kitchen staff etc.
and they call these people, doing vital work, low-skilled because they receive minimum wage. like to see some of them try doing carework, with all the responsibility, hard graft, etc. and often not paid for travelling time or fares to clients.
if I ruled the world, domicilary care would be organised locally, by a public body, accountable, with proper training, career progression and renumeration. aim to recruit people living local to the area they worked in, get to know the area, its facilities, and able to walk between clients.
