Meeting description: We had requested the meeting to discuss the Scottish faith groups' campaign for Fair Pay in Social Care supported by the Church of Scotland Justice and Peace Scotland Jewish Care and the Scottish Ahlul Bayt Society. We shared the impact on recruitment retention and standards of care of current low pay and the situation facing faith-based care providers such as CrossReach. We presented our evidence and ideas to the Cabinet Secretary and asked him to make Fair Pay in Social Care a priority and to implement an uplift to the promised 12/hr as soon as possible to match recent rates of inflation.
