Care Provider Alliance urges unity and dialogue to support community well-being

The Care Provider Alliance (CPA) calls for unity, peaceful dialogue, and collaboration to tackle civil unrest. Community support and cohesion is vital for the health and prosperity of the UK and our 1.6 million strong care workforce plays a vital role in this.

Recent events have affected communities across the country. The CPA is concerned about the welfare of all, especially our care workforce and those they support. Despite the challenges, it's uplifting to witness people coming together and showing kindness and unity.

Chair of the Care Provider Alliance, Dr Jane Townson OBE, commented:

"Our primary focus remains on ensuring the continuity of vital care and support services to those who need them. We are deeply grateful for the dedication of care teams across the country who continue to provide essential support, despite the risks. We also want to thank the police for keeping everyone safe and supporting essential workers during this tough time.

The CPA firmly believes that positive change is most effectively achieved through open and peaceful dialogue, democratic engagement, and a commitment to building strong, inclusive communities. We condemn any acts that threaten public safety or hinder the provision of essential services”.

The Care Provider Alliance remains steadfastly committed to our mission of enabling the highest quality care and support. We will continue working closely with our partners across the care sector, government, law enforcement, and civil society to navigate these times and support the well-being of all members of our communities.

The care sector plays a vital role in promoting social cohesion and enabling healthy, thriving communities. We urge leaders to focus on uniting people, healing divisions, and addressing underlying societal issues.
