| Annotation | This review is part of the wider Reform of Adult Care and Support project in Northern Ireland. Each section considers the areas in need of reform, and analyses a key theme pertinent to the effective delivery of adult care and support. Interspersed in the report are 16 proposals for change on the following themes: the value of social care; the citizen at the heart (i.e. person-centred, and giving control to service users); family carers - vital partners for social care; building resilient communities; the professional workforce in social care; the market for care; system alignment - making integration meaningful; and towards a new Concordat. The report calls for improved conditions for the social care workforce, and for an appraisal of the true cost of providing care and support. These reforms should be considered in the context of a society-wide debate on the roles and responsibilities of individuals, families, communities and government within a reformed system of support. Three versions of this report are available: the full report (120 pp); an executive summary (16 pp); and an easy read version, 'What we want to do to improve adult care and support' (24 pp). (RH). |
