| Annotation | This book outlines a vision for social care in 2020 that will meet universal needs and have universal support, even if its services are not universally experienced. It argues that social care should seek to promote well being by empowering individuals and their communities. It calls for high quality, outcome-oriented services with a predominant focus on prevention. Contributors explore how this vision might be achieved, and identify the implications for practitioners, politicians, users and the public. They propose fundamental changes in the relationship between central and local government and the National Health Service (NHS). They suggest that, by 2020, social work and social services departments (SSDs) as we currently know them will cease to exist and be replaced by new professions and age-related organisations. The strengthening of local democracy and the re-invigoration of public participation in ht e democratic process is implicit in this process. (RH). |
