Peter is a regional manager (senior organiser) for the third largest trade union in the UK, the GMB. They represent over half a million workers in the private, public and not for profit sectors.
Peter led and helped to produce the GMB Ethical Home Care Commissioning Charter and lead for the North East, Yorkshire and Humber Region on care campaigns.
By working with providers over the past four years Peter has seen that the way care is commissioned 'on the cheap' in the UK, under valuing the care as well as the carers themselves, is driven by Westminster choices and embedded through procurement in Council Town halls and, that’s where it must be changed.
