Social Care Proposals At a Glance.

Social Care  Proposals At a Glance.

The long awaited Government proposals to ‘fix’ the care crisis has been announced but is ‘too little too late’ says Disability Rights UK.

“We are concerned that the national conversation is still almost exclusively about Older People, despite a third of people using Social Care being Disabled people of working age, and using two thirds of the overall social care budget. Further, thresholds for Social Care, which are not always based around finances, are so high that around half of all applications to Local Authorities by Disabled people in need of care are turned down

The social care reform proposals do not kick in for another two years. You can read the full article here.

A copy of the policy paper is available on GOV.UK under the title Build Back Better: Our Plan For Health and Social Care

The BBC has produced an article entitled Social care changes at a glance covering what is being proposed and how the changes will be funded. The BBC has previously written about Disabled and vulnerable adults hit by steep rises in the amount they have to pay towards their care.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.
