The UK social care industry is warning of a staffing crisis as shortages in care homes, exacerbated by vaccine mandates, continue to grow.
Compounded by November’s “no jab no job” requirement for care home staff, the industry is warning of a staffing crisis in social care as the staff vacancy rate “continued to steadily increase” throughout last year to reach 11.5 percent at the end of December, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) said.
