Care England Calls on Providers to Stand Together and Complete ENIC Judicial Review Survey

Care England is inviting all adult social care providers to complete its national survey gathering evidence for the Judicial Review (JR) into the Government’s decision to increase Employer National Insurance Contributions (ENICs) without providing the necessary funding to the sector.

The deadline has now been extended to Wednesday 26 November to give providers every opportunity to contribute their experiences.

The survey will form a central part of the evidence submitted to the High Court and is critical to setting out the clear gap between the Government’s original assumptions and the reality experienced by providers over the past six months. Early responses have already strengthened our discussions with senior officials, providing real examples of how the ENIC increase has affected day-to-day operations, finances, and workforce stability.

However, to present a full and accurate picture, we now need a broader range of providers to share their experiences, so the evidence reflects the sector as a whole.

Professor Martin Green OBE, Chief Executive of Care England, said:
“This is a moment for the sector to stand together. We have an opportunity to show, with clarity and conviction, the impact these decisions have had on our workforce, our services, and the people who rely on care every day. Your voice matters. Every response strengthens our case and moves us closer to securing the fairness and recognition this sector deserves. Please take the time to complete the survey – it is one of the most important things you can do for adult social care right now.”

The survey is open until 17:00 on Wednesday 26 November.
