Lots of thanks to all the NHS staff in the current crisis ... quite rightly so.

But lets also appreciate the thousands of low paid local authority and private care staff who day in day out are looking after vulnerable and putting themselves in harm's way too.

Thank you!

There and to the left a bit

It's actually quite ironic that some of the most undervalued of our society a few short weeks ago, are the ones being turned to now to get us through this - from the NHS, to care workers, to charities and volunteers, to supermarket and shop staff, to emergency services and many many more.

I take my hat off to all of them and just hope when all this is done with that they are recognised and where appropriate the relevant funding is provided to make their lives and ours a better place

Yeah and Boris said anyone earning less than £26,000 isn't a skilled worker. I know that's for his immigration policies but still goes to show what type of workers we actually need and how they are underpaid and not valued.

A little late to the thread, totally agree with everything that has been said. Care and social workers should be on as much as nurses, they are doing the care just as much as nurses and nobody is highlighting the fact they are under extreme pressure. They are under just as much as pressure as nurses and NHS staff. So big THANK YOU!! to our social and care staff.

They could get paid the same as nurses if they did all the training and paid their registration fees that nurses do. I’m not knocking Carers, they do an amazing job and need recognition but if they earned the same as nurses what would the incentive be to train as a nurse?

I'm not sure I'm speaking for all care workers, but I agree, most are paid a pittance, but your salary can always be negotiated. From my experience, I think most careworkers would be more than happy with their place of work being better funded as to have better working conditions. This is all just in general, so I could be totally wrong.

Also to the unsung heroes that aren't now able to work, have slipped through the systems cracks as being new business/self employed but still able to put on a brave face or smile. For anyone who is struggling through these times but trudging on with what is needed to be done

Fair pay, like freedom, is never voluntarily given. It must be demanded. Now is the time to demand more and better. Never let a good crisis go to waste as they say.

Absolutely agree. Boris talks absolute tripe

I work in Early Years, 20k a year (good for the field) I have 2 BA (hons) and 25 years experience. I work longer hours than a teacher would (7:30 - 6) 52 weeks of the year. I teach, observe, plan, I write assessments on top of ensuring physical needs are met. Deal with parents and prepare for Ofsted

On top of that I oversee my staff and ensure they have knowledge.

I am also training mentor for my setting

Yet in his speech Boris refers to my _rofession as - Childcare- such an insult.

We work just as hard if not harder than teachers and get no recognition for it yet we are an 'essential service' I just wish my sector was a little more valued, it's not about the money at all it, if it was I wouldn't do it.

That said I love my job, it's exhausting but rewarding and I know that our parents appreciate what we do so in reality that is all that matters

But yes, back to the OP. The care sector do an amazing job! The love and attention they give anyway is enough but in these times when they are giving extra is something pretty special

That's a frighteningly low salary for such hours. Is it even the minimum wage?
