- Urgent reforms in adult social care needed, says Lords committee
- Runtime

- Date posted
- 4 years ago
- Description
- The Lords Adult Social Care committee has published its report calling for action from the government to prioritise and reform the care sector. It found the invisibility of the adult social care sector is increasingly damaging to both those who draw on care and who provide unpaid care at a time of increasing need, rising costs and a shrinking workforce.
Adult social care affects the lives of over 10 million people in England, yet local government funding is not keeping pace with demographic pressures and there are over 165,000 vacancies in the workforce. The committee calls for greater choice and control for disabled adults and older people and a better deal for unpaid carers.

- Vulnerable children and families failed by inadequate implementation of the Children and Families Act 2014, says Lords committee.
The law originally sought to give greater protection to vulnerable children, better support for children whose parents are separating, a new system to help children with special educational needs and disabilities, and help for parents to balance work and family life.
However, the Lords Children and Families Act 2014 Committee found that too much of the legislation has sat on the shelf and has ultimately failed in meaningfully improving the lives of children and young people. The committee has published its report pressing the government to finally realise its ambitions set out in the Act across adoption, family justice and employment rights.
Chair of the committee, Baroness Tyler of Enfield, said: “The welfare of children and young people should be the government's paramount concern when developing policies in this a...
