Today, 31 July 2025, marks the final day of public hearings for Module 6 of the UK COVID-19 Inquiry Adult Social Care.
Throughout the Inquiry, the Homecare Association has worked tirelessly to ensure Baroness Hallett heard the voices of homecare providers and care workers loud and clear. From submitting detailed written evidence to giving oral testimony, we have consistently highlighted how the homecare sector was overlooked, underfunded, and deprioritised - despite being a vital public service.
You can read more about our contribution to Module 6, including Jane’s oral evidence, our witness statement, opening statement and closing remarks, here.
To mark the conclusion of hearings, we are releasing a song with accompanying video lyrics to honour the extraordinary dedication of the 740,000 professional homecare workers in England who continued to deliver essential care despite significant personal risk, often lacking adequate PPE, testing, or recognition as essential workers. It is a small gesture of thanks to those who kept going when it mattered most.
