Ep.13 Karolina Gerlich, head of Care Workers Charity talks about her battle to improve pay and status of care workers

Let's Talk About Care

Hosts Jill Rennie and Sue Learner talk to Karolina Gerlich, executive director of the Care Workers Charity (CWC) about her phenomenal achievement in fundraising two million pounds for care workers during the pandemic and the new points-based immigration system that will prevent foreign care workers coming to the UK to work. She also gives the government a CQC-style rating on how they performed during the COVID-19 crisis when care homes and home care were very much on the front line and talks about her battle to improve the pay and status of care workers.
