Social Care

Debate between Melanie Onn and Anna Turley

Wednesday 25th April 2018 Commons Chamber

[Anna Turley]

My hon. Friend raises an important point. Much has been said today about the prestige of the sector and that suggestion would go a long way to addressing that.

[Melanie Onn (Great Grimsby) (Lab)]

To follow up on the issue of training, it is important that people who are going into people’s homes to care for them or who care for people in a home setting have all the training they require to perform the duties that are expected of them. Too often, they are not given the training they need and are expected to do far more than they are qualified to do.
