We very much welcome the recently announced care review. Over the past few years we have published a number of brief articles that we feel might be useful to those overseeing the review.
In essence we believe that the care system has to be creative and agile, think outside top down boxes, seek to work in partnership with community and business and empower care experienced people, young and old to drive the agenda.
Kieran Breen, CEO
The four brief articles below give a good oversight of our thinking.
