Welcome to the consultation on the adult social care fair pay agreement process. The consultation invites feedback on:
- who and what should be covered by a fair pay agreement
- how the negotiation process could work
- how disputes could be resolved
- how the fair pay agreement could be implemented and complied with
This consultation does not seek views on the outcome of any fair pay agreement. Any level of pay or new terms and conditions will be agreed through the bargaining process.
Please review the full consultation page before completing this survey. In some areas of the survey we set out specific recommendations or options, and for others we are seeking general views and insights on the issues. The consultation document will provide the information you need to respond to the questions.
This consultation is asking questions regarding England only. However, people and organisations based outside of England can also respond.
