Blaenau Gwent first council in Wales to sign UNISON’s ethical care charter | News | News | UNISON Cymru/Wales

Blaenau Gwent Council has today become the first local authority in Wales to sign Unison’s Ethical Care Charter reinforcing its commitment to fair working for home carers.

An online survey, ‘Time to Care’, carried out by the trade union showed that home care workers often feel poorly paid and treated and that they don’t always have enough time with clients to provide the necessary care, support and companionship due to time travelling between calls.
