- A minimum of £15 an hour for all social care workers.
- A minimum floor of terms and conditions for all social care workers which includes two 30 mins paid rest breaks, access to enhanced sick pay and consistent provision of pensions.
- The establishment of collective bargaining in all areas of social care services including the third sector and private sector.
- The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) registration fee to be fully funded by the Scottish Government.
