You’re welcome, any time.

ALT A card showing a quote from Rachel Cackett, CEO of CCPS: “Adding the double whammy announcement yesterday of increased employer NI contributions and a reduction in the NI threshold will be catastrophic for CCPS members and many other charities, unless some form of exemption is set or contracts are increased to fully fund the policy. “So this is a plea to both the Chancellor and Scottish Ministers. Please, please work together now to ensure that a social care sector that is already at breaking point is not sunk by baking in inequities in the application of NI relief.”
