What does the social care sector think of the Casey Commission?

This month, we delve into the newly announced Casey Commission into social care. With the sector facing chronic underfunding, workforce shortages, and growing demand, the commission promises a long-overdue examination of the system’s failings. But will it lead to meaningful reform? To discuss this further, we sat down with Vic Rayner, Chief Executive of the National Care Forum, and Melanie Williams, President of the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services. We explored the potential impact of the Casey Commission, workforce concerns, and the need for reforms to be swiftly delivered.  

Two speakers engage in discussion during an event, seated in front of a backdrop featuring the Policy Exchange logo. One speaker gestures while making a point, and the other listens attentively.
