Social care: the policy progress forgot

.

Chapter 1 in The Future of Social Care, 2023, pp 9-22 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter highlights the devastating effects Covid-19 has had on social care in the UK. This was caused and exacerbated by the failings of residential and domiciliary care and their broken relationship with the National Health Service. We see a case study of how social care fails to support the rights and needs of the growing numbers of older and disabled people in society. This sets the scene for an internationally inadequate and outmoded policy, which must be radically reformed if it is to meet the challenge of changing demographics which are increasing its significance.
