In the run-up to June’s general election, almost every aspect of our public services and social policy feels at breaking point: we’re in the midst of an NHS crisis, a social care crisis, a housing crisis, a local government funding crisis and a civil service staffing crisis, not to mention a collapse in public trust for charities.

The election will be dominated by Brexit, but domestic policies are equally vital – and must not be swept under the rug. It will be up to all those professionals working for and with the public to make that case. So we’d like to know what you want to see from all the parties as top election priorities.

This is not just a matter of grand statements or pledging more money. What do the main political parties need to say to show they really understand the issues?
