Join Southampton DPAC’s protest vs Southampton City Council & Contractors Capita,
Wednesday 15th February at 1.45 pm
Southampton City Council, Civic Centre, SO14 7LY Southampton
(close to both Coach and Rail Stations)
A whistleblower from inside Capita has told Disability News Service (DNS) that Capita has been piling pressure on its team of social workers – while paying them more than £1,000 a week – to cut social care spending, on the orders of Southampton City Council. You can read the full DNS Article here
Southampton DPAC have convened this protest to shame both councillors and contractors. All DPAC members and allies that can get there are urged to go. This might be Southampton but it could be happening across the country soon and we need to demonstrate our willingness fightback here.
I can only be there in spirit, but wish you great success at the protest – I really hope lots of people will be able to be there to support this!
