Cheshire East Unison is encouraging Employers across the Cheshire East area to adopt and sign up to the Unison Ethical Care Charter this Christmas. In light of UNISON’s findings, we are calling for councils to commit to becoming Ethical Care Councils by commissioning homecare services which adhere to our Ethical Care Charter. The over-riding objective behind the Charter is to establish a minimum baseline for the safety, quality and dignity of care by ensuring employment conditions which (a) do not routinely short-change clients and (b) ensure the recruitment and retention of a more stable workforce through more sustainable pay, conditions and training levels. Rather than councils seeking to achieve savings by driving down the pay and conditions that have been the norm for council – employed staff, they should be using these as a benchmark against which to level up. Cheshire East Council will be asked to sign up to the Charter and Cheshire East UNISON will regularly publish the names of councils who do.
