National Care Service: Factsheet
This factsheet gives information about the Scottish Government's National Care Service (NCS). It explains the need for an NCS, the benefits of an NCS, and the plan for creating an NCS. It also has facts about Scotland's current social care landscape.
How the NCS will affect the workforce
According to the Scottish Social Service Sector: Report on 2022 Workforce Data, over 200,000 people work in the social service sector. They work for a wide range of organisations and carry out a wide range of jobs.
The NCS will improve conditions by:
- ensuring that the work all those people do across Scotland is planned and delivered consistently to meet people’s needs
- drawing on the experience of the workforce in its design
- including workforce representation on the NCS Board
- exploring developing a Workforce Charter which supports a workforce who feel engaged, supported and valued
