A really important thread, looking at the harsh, hidden realities for those living and working in #SocialCare during #covid19.
The clearest demonstration of how #covid19 is entangling urgent questions of economy with public health, human rights & dignity, #ukemplaw.

Well worth reading in conjunction with this new brilliant study from @abicadams @MartaGolin @TeodoraBoneva1 on the economic shock for workers on low income and insecure work - many of those working in #socialcare right now.
Some of the hard-hitting stats in that study are broken down in this excellent thread by @JeremiasPrassl. It’s a sobering reminder/wake-up call of the need for a multi-faceted urgent policy response.
This report shows how precarious the #covid19 situation is for the #socialcare sector where a dire lack of PPE & clear guidance is pushing workers, and elderly residents, to a dangerous edge. #ukemplaw theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/m…
Pleased to have signed this @DisRightsUK letter, alongside @RobinAllenQC & Cath Casserley of @CloistersLaw & so many disability rights organisations on #COVID19 & the rights of disabled people. Glad @FoxNikkiFox picked this issue up on BBC news tonight. disabilityrightsuk.org/news/2020/apri…
Great initiative and effort by @neilmcrowther @DisRightsUK to get this important matter into the public eye, a statement drafted and signed by so many leading organisations so quickly.
