Overview
We’ll be joined by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to provide an overview of the Government’s work to introduce Fair Pay Agreements (FPAs) in adult social care.
Colleagues at DHSC will detail the background to the policy and explain what FPAs will mean to you, as a regulated professional.
DHSC is keen to hear directly from registered nurses and nursing associates, social workers and occupational therapists working in the sector to ensure your experiences and perspectives are reflected in the policy design.
You will hear how you can get involved in the public FPA process consultation, which is currently seeking views from across the adult social care sector on the design of the FPA.
Regulated professionals are expected to be within the scope of an FPA. The consultation is seeking specific views on whether adult social care workers employed directly by the NHS or local authorities should be covered by the FPA. As these workers are usually subject to other pay setting processes, we particularly welcome your feedback on whether including them in multiple pay-setting processes could create complexity.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback to the DHSC during this session, and your input will help inform discussion and contribute to the ongoing work to establish the best way to collectively agree an FPA.
