Four social care organisations have come together to promote the vital role of those working in the sector.
The initiative comes as care workers struggle with insomnia, anxiety, depression and PTSD as a direct result of their role.

The Care Workers’ Charity (CWC) has today announced a partnership with Care Worker Tax Rebate to support home care staff.
The care workers, who work for separate providers, have come together to compose ‘We are Here’ in support of the Care Workers’ Charity.
The charity is appealing for donations to help ensure care workers receive the right type of support to help them through the coronavirus pandemic.
Karolina Gerlich, executive director at the Care Workers’ Charity, explains why Professional Care Workers' Week exists.
The event, organised by the Care Workers' Charity, is designed to boost the perception of social care in the public consciousness.
Care workers can now apply for a Child Care Costs grant, which will offer support of up to £2,000, the Care Workers' Charity has said.
The campaign aims to improve the mental and physical health of participants, while raising funds for care workers.
Thousands of individuals and businesses have donated to the Covid-19 Emergency Fund, set up to support care workers who are unable to work due to coronavirus.
