"There is nothing in the budget or spending review today that seems to fully acknowledge the scale of jeopardy Scotland’s social care system currently faces." Our CEO @r-cackett.bsky.social responds to yesterday's Scottish Budget statement at Holyrood 👇 🔗 bit.ly/3ZdejFo

A quote from CCPS CEO Rachel Cackett reads: "There remains absolutely no acknowledgement of the soaring on-costs faced by not-for-profit social care employers, including from eNICs changes… We continue to see no relief offered in this budget. This will further destabilise a sector which this government knows is incredibly fragile."

“We want to work constructively with government to help meet promises made to Scotland’s citizens. But stripping resources from social care providers isn’t how we do that” Rachel Cackett responds to new analysis of the 2026-27 Budget 👇 www.ccpscotland.org/ccps-news/we...

We remain deeply concerned about plans set out in the Scottish Budget to change the funding of social care pay 👇 We’re grateful to MSPs for raising this issue in parliament today and urge the gov to reverse this decision and prioritise long-term, sustainable investment in the sector.

‼️ Today MPs will vote on amendments made to the NI Bill by @houseoflords.parliament.uk which would exempt most social care orgs from devastating increases. We urge MPs to share the evidence we & our members have provided & stand up for our sector. @r-cackett.bsky.social @key-lifestyles.bsky.social

Let's hope this signals the chance that the Bill will be amended to protect public services delivered by not-for-profit providers. Excellent work from the @ccpscotland.bsky.social team, and others, on briefing peers in advance of yesterday's debate 👏

NfP social care providers in Scotland face an extra bill of around £30 million to cover the NI rate rise & the threshold reduction. Money they do not have, and have no means to raise. #ValueSocialcare #ProvidersUnite @r-cackett.bsky.social @providersunite.bsky.social @comintcare.bsky.social

This week, staff at our main office have been coming together for some briefing sessions. These have been a great opportunity to talk about some of the issues affecting social care just now. As part of these we shared @ccpscotland.bsky.social #MoreThanWarmWords campaign.

We support @ccpscotland.bsky.social calls for our sector to be given exemption from the proposed NI policy changes. We've written to MSPs informing them of the impact these additional financial pressures will have on organisations like us & the essential public services we deliver.
