Book Launch: The Future of Social Care

This webinar provides an opportunity to discuss with a diverse panel of experts practical ways forward to escape the long term crisis of social care and instead develop a participatory and sustainable future policy linked with latest evidence from a new open access book*

An image of the front cover of the book. The title of the book, The Future of Social Care, is in the centre. The title is surrounded by a number of cartoon figures arranged in a circular fashion around the title. They go around the four edges of the cover.  Each figure is linked to the one in front and the one behind it, forming a human chain. They are helping one another to reach where they need to be.
