Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2025

Debate

Adult Social Care

Contribution

Yes, indeed. I pay tribute to the adult social care workforce who work hard, day in, day out, to provide the standards that the noble Lord refers to for those in our communities who are often the most vulnerable. I could give a range of examples but will refer in particular to the learning and development support scheme, which was launched in September 2024. It provides funding for eligible care staff to complete courses and qualifications, including a new level 2 adult social care certificate, and has been backed by £12 million this financial year. I give that as just one example; I am sure the noble Lord will be welcoming of the other actions that the Government are taking.
