“My work is meaningful and worthwhile.” “I’m proud to do my job.” “My work helps other people a great deal.” These aren't empty slogans. They're the voices of social care workers. Andrew Harrop writes of new research confirming that they find their work skilled, valuable and fulfilling.

Worried about AI taking your job? Social care workers are more confident than workers in any other sector that their jobs will still exist in 10–20 years. Human skills, empathy and personal responsibility matter. Care isn't low-skill work. It's work with a future. Andrew Harrop reports.

Social care is often dismissed as low-skilled, insecure work. But a major survey of UK workers tells a very different story: skilled, meaningful jobs with unusually strong confidence about their future. Andrew Harrop looks at the evidence.

Text says:

We rely on journalism to question those in power, reveal truths, and help us to understand the world. At its best, it protects democracy, dispels disinformation and exposes authoritarianism.
But what happens when the media becomes part of the problem? Who holds it to account, keeps it ethical, and stops it from propagating hate or harm? How can we build a better version?
Join us for a vital conversation about the media Britain needs – and what it will take to get there.
