A recent PoliticsHome investigation by journalist Sophie Church has shed light on the dangers facing families who unknowingly employ carers through unregulated platforms. The article, published in The House Magazine, highlights how gaps in oversight allow thousands of self-employed carers to operate without proper vetting, supervision, or accountability.
Tim Wilson, Managing Director of Assist Care Group, contributed to the piece, warning that the rise of unregulated care represents a fundamental shift in the sector.
“Care work is moving from a regulated, protected environment to an unregulated, self-employed one,” he explained. “This undermines both worker protection and the safety of those receiving care.”
At Assist Care Group, we continue to advocate for stronger regulation, ethical employment, and transparent standards that protect both workers and the people they care for.
