Almost a third of social care workers nationally can no longer live on their salary according to a shock report. New polling lays bare the impact of the cost of living crisis on the sector with one in seven carers saying they cannot afford to eat at least one meal a day.
A YouGov survey of 1,000 carers revealed 29% report being no longer able to live on the money that they earn. Many earn around the minimum wage while our sister site the Mirror has launched the Fair Care for All campaign to demand they get proper pay and training. The damning findings show one in 12 carers have stopped driving due to fuel prices.
