Social Care Reform in Scotland
Overview
Social Care, as defined by the Scottish Government, comprises “all forms of personal and practical support for children, young people and adults who need extra support. It describes services and other types of help, including care homes and supporting unpaid carers to help them continue in their caring role.” Over the coming year, we will explore social care reform in Scotland, including the recently announced National Care Service for Scotland bill.
