COVID-19 and the Care Act 2014

The Care Act 2014 has been the most significant piece of legislation in our sector since the establishment of the welfare state. We saw a shift from the duty to provide services to meeting needs.

Hear from Paul Burstow, Chair of the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE), Clenton Farquharson MBE, Chair of Think Local Act Personal (TLAP), and CEO of Shared Lives Plus, Alex Fox, as they answer questions about COVID-19 and the Care Act 2014.
