| Annotation | More than 1.5 million people are in paid social care work in England. However, the public perception is of work that is neither skilled nor well paid, and there is ignorance both of what social care work involves and of its pioneering role in public service reform. This report arises from a series of seminars held by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) in 2004. It considers the challenges that the social care workforce needs to meet in respect of recruitment and retention, education and training, regulation, and integrated care. It recommends a "Wanless" review of social care; establishing an adequately trained and supplied workforce for social care across the spectrum; and a rethinking on individual and organisational registration and regulation.
