National Care Service: questions and answers - engagement sessions - easy read
In summer 2022, we ran four National Care Service (NCS) Bill engagement sessions. A number of questions were asked during these sessions, so we have produced questions and answers (Q and A) for these. This is an easy read version of these.
Questions about workers and Fair Work
Fair Work means Scotland's aim that people have jobs which let them:
- be successful
- have good wellbeing
How will Fair Work happen in the new National Care Service?
and
How will you make sure that my job and the way I work do not get worse?
The Scottish Government thinks that Fair Work is very important.
It wants to:
- make things better for health and social care workers
- make workers feel more valued
With the National Care Service, the Scottish Government want to make these things better for workers:
- more pay
- feel more valued
- have a voice in their workplace
- better training
- better terms and conditions
Terms and conditions mean the agreement between the worker and their boss about things like:
- what kind of work they do
- how many hours they work
- their rights
