Care Forum Wales Manifesto 2026

CARE FORUM WALES | MANIFESTO

Contents

Care Forum Wales represents over 400 private and third- sector providers of regulated social care in Wales, including nursing homes, residential homes, domiciliary care agencies, and supported living services. Our members can only succeed if the people in their care receive high-quality support, and if providers can recruit and retain skilled, committed staff. This manifesto sets out the urgent actions needed from political parties ahead of the 2026 Senedd elections, and beyond, to support a fair, sustainable, and high-quality social care sector.
