The Big Conversation on Care: Shaping the Future of Adult Social Care
The Independent Commission on Adult Social Care has launched 'The Big Conversation on Care' to gather public views on how to reform England's struggling social care system.
The Independent Commission on Adult Social Care has launched 'The Big Conversation on Care' to help shape a fairer future for adult social care in England. Led by Baroness Louise Casey, this initiative invites the public, older people, disabled individuals, and their families to share their experiences and help fix a system that many currently find broken and difficult to navigate.
Why Your Input is Vital
- Addressing systemic issues: Many people currently struggle to find and fund care during a crisis, such as after a fall, when becoming frail, or following a diagnosis like dementia.
- Answering key questions: The Commission is seeking feedback on what care should look like, who should receive the most help, and who should pay for care.
- Creating a reliable system: The goal is to ensure that support is readily available for older people who need help around the home and disabled individuals who need support to live and work.
How to Get Involved
- Share your ideas: Go online to contribute your thoughts on how to improve the adult social care system.
- Vote on suggestions: Read and vote on ideas submitted by other members of the public.
- Join the conversation: Participate in the online platform to help guide the Commission's work and recommendations.
