    Brief

    The UK government is investing £321,000 in a Negotiation Support Fund to prepare the Adult Social Care (ASC) sector for Fair Pay Agreement (FPA) negotiations beginning April 2027. Fair Pay Agreements represent a new form of sectoral collective bargaining designed to improve pay, terms, conditions, and employment standards across the ASC workforce. Authorized under the Employment Rights Act 2025, this fund supports sector organizations, employers, workers, and representatives in preparing for successful negotiations. The fund is considered essential for managing delivery risks and meeting government's top priority commitment to enhance the ASC sector. Eligible applicants may include sectoral bodies, representative organizations, training providers, and consultants who can help strengthen negotiation readiness and capacity across the adult social care industry.
