We will continue to work with Baroness Casey and with Government to find solutions together – both now and for the long term – so that more people can access great social care that enables them to live their lives.”

Dimensions UK @dimensionsuk.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

Baroness Casey’s right to draw attention to low pay across the workforce and despite this, the fantastic support that is delivered. At Dimensions [we are non-profit] 94% of colleagues are paid at or above Real Living Wage, but maintaining that position year is an ever increasing challenge.

Dimensions UK @dimensionsuk.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

Too often commissioning does not support the delivery of consistent, high-quality support, and instead contributes to fragmentation, short-term decision making and instability for providers, the workforce and most importantly, the people who rely on care and support.
