About this episode

Kevin Humphrys has spent years fighting for an industry that keeps millions of people alive — yet most of society still looks the other way.In this episode, Kevin pulls back the curtain on what's really happening inside the UK's social care sector: chronic underfunding, a massive PR problem, and a workforce that deserves far more recognition than it gets.Kevin shares how he fell into social care almost by accident, why he stayed and what needs to change before the system reaches breaking point. We talk about the misconception that care work is low-skilled, why the media only covers the horror stories, and what a proper career path in social care could actually look like.If you've got parents, grandparents, or anyone you love who might need care one day — this one matters. Kevin also leaves you with one simple thing you can do right now to help push for change.
