TUC Cymru calls for not-for-profit adult social care model
TUC Cymru has urged the Welsh Government to remove private profit from the sector, following its decision to do so in children's services from April 2026.
Shavanah Taj, general secretary of TUC Cymru, said: "TUC Cymru welcomes the Welsh Government's actions in legislating to remove profit from children's social care.
"That's a real win for our most vulnerable children and the unions which campaigned for this change.
"But this must be just the beginning."
She said public money intended for adult social care should not become profit for investors and called for a new approach led by local authorities and trusted charities.
Ms Taj said care workers must also be properly valued, with fair pay, secure contracts, and opportunities for training and career progression.
TUC Cymru held a fringe meeting on the topic during the Welsh Labour conference in Llandudno on Friday, June 27.

Former teacher says phone ban will not be easy
A former teacher and union rep has said a decision to ban mobile phones in Jersey schools and colleges "may encourage children to actually talk to each other".The Government of Jersey said the ban would include break and lunch times and apply to all students up the end of Key Stage Mauger from the NASUWT teacher union welcomed the change and said she spent much time in her teaching days telling students to put their phones away or down, and believed children would said: "I don't think it will be easy. 'Easy to enforce' "I think initially while children are getting used to this ban, they will try every manoeuvre they can to retain and use their phone in school."If a school has a good behaviour policy, which all Jersey schools do have, then it should be easy for teachers to enforce."Outside of school, she believes it is the responsibility of parents to monitor how their children are using their phones, including social ban is set to come in from September, and she thinks it will help reduce the amount of "horrible things" seen by children online. Local play champion and smartphone free childhood campaigner Emily Jennings said the parent community was heartened to see the guidance and recommendations for mobile-free Jennings believes the next steps for the government was to work with mobile phone manufactures to create more non-smart mobile phones for children."Currently if you walk into a mobile phone shop on the high street, there are very few," she said."Most of them are designed for old people with big buttons which are not cool for kids." She said the announcement by the Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning Deputy Rob Ward promoting non-smart phone ownership for children was a first for the UK."They may not bring the phone to school, and they may have the smartphone that their parents may have given them before, but the education minister has recommended that parents don't buy their children a smart phone," said Ms Jennings."There are safer phones for children that do not have internet on them." 'Win for childhood' Ms Jennings said the ban of the devices at school was a "real win for childhood". "Children are free to play with each other in real life without distraction from dopamine devices is just extraordinary," added Ms Jennings."This is a radical step and a real win for childhood."

'Create hard shoulders along large parts of A55 to relieve congestion'
A call for a 'hard shoulders' along large parts of the A55 has been made in a bid to cut congestion. The dual carriageway was developed in different sections over a number of decades by various UK governments, with the last part finally completed on Anglesey in 2001. While it transformed travel across the region, the road has been declared "not fit for purpose" by critics. Demands have been made for various investments - from a third Menai crossing to the removal of the roundabouts at Penmaenmawr and Llanfairfechan. There have also been calls for other changes along the route - from changing "dangerous" junctions to increasing resilience. Leader of the Welsh Conservatives and Clwyd West MS Darren Millar this week called on the Welsh Government to invest in the A55 trunk road. He told Transport Secretary Ken Skates that creating hard shoulders along large parts of its length and planning for contraflows to be enabled would alleviate congestion. He said: 'It's been raised by other colleagues in terms of the resilience of the A55 trunk road, and it is something that I have raised many times in the past too. 'You say that you can't plan for all eventualities, but what you can do is improve the road to the extent that there are hard shoulders available. 'You can also plan for contraflows to be enabled, to save diversions through some of our town centres and villages, which then become choked up with traffic. "What people want to see is investment in the A55 trunk road. It is the key artery for our economy, for people getting to and from the locations that they need to get to for work, for education, for hospitals, et cetera. 'Why can't you do a focused piece of work on resilience just on this one particular road, taking into account the need for contraflows, making sure that we've got a phased approach to improvements in terms of the delivery of hard shoulders, so that we can make sure that the A55 is fit for purpose and that it isn't frequently beset with regular traffic jams, which give a negative impression of Wales?" Responding, the Cabinet Secretary said: 'There are resilience issues that affect many of our trunk roads. We will be carrying out specific work in regard to the A55, but I believe that there is a broader piece of work required to look at all of our major routes.' Speaking after the meeting, Mr Millar said: "The A55 is the lifeblood of the North Wales economy, but sadly it has the unpopular accolade of being one of the worst congested roads in the UK. It is therefore vital that the Welsh Government make improving this trunk road a priority.' He told North Wales Live what the Tories would do if they came into power in Wales. He said: "We would get those roundabouts removed, extend the availability of hard shoulders, and ensure that central reservation changes are made to deliver the opportunity for contraflows to prevent unnecessarily choking up the road network in local towns and villages. "This could easily be part of a programme of rolling investment in the trunk road network that can be financed via investment models which offer value for money for the taxpayer." The Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales Ken Skates told North Wales Live: "We're continuing to progress improvements to the A55 including consideration of how connections to and from Ynys Môn can be made more resilient. "This includes improvements to the A55 junctions and carriageway alignments, introduction of wind deflectors to Britannia Bridge and improvements for walking cycling. This study is now nearing completion and we'll be making announcements on the preferred options and next stages shortly." He added: 'We are also working on transport improvements on the A483 in Wrexham to support economic growth and development including the Western Gateway. A public consultation was held during February and March and this will help inform a decision on preferred options during the summer.'
