The packed staff meeting listened as Care UK representatives tried to alleviate their concerns about the service and their futures under Care UK management.
The company was awarded the 25-year contract by Islington Council to run the two homes and two day centres at Highbury New Park, Lennox House, and Carniegie Street. 'The company told staff that they would be subject to an ETO to enable the company to bring in their policies and procedures.
