A reflection on the six questionswhat will be the role of the

2lst Century carers, a reminder on who cares
Around 6 million carers, 4.3million of working age. 54% ofcarers give up work to carecarers emphasise that best supportwould be quality care for their relative. Improvements in medicalcare mean new survivors with very complex disabilities but
implications of shift from NHS in-patient to domiciliary care.
1.25 million carers now provide care for more than 50 hours aweek. Value of carers contribution estimated at 118b (cost of
NHS is 98b pa). 70% of long-term carers report that caring has a
negative impact on their own physical and mental health.
New sandwich generation of multiple or mutual carers (60% ofchildcare now provided by grandparents, some families caring forthree generations).

PersonalisationTreating people equallydoes not mean treating them the same!
The rise of the Personal Budget! NationalPersonal Budget Survey (2011) showed majority of 2,000respondents reporting better outcomes.
Key factors in satisfaction included: A navigator for the system: Good information and advice in
planning personal care (for carers and those they support).
Real options, a focus on outcomes about how Personal Budget ismanaged.
A market place with something to sell: carers supported to findright mix of care and support.
Think family: Care and support may affect multiple family members(eg distance caring; intergenerational caring; young carers etc).

Personalisation Some challenges as well asopportunities
Challenges: Anxiety about options for organisation and money management.
Developing a market place for wider range of services.
Concerns about possible loss of existing services without
adequate replacement. Challenge of interface with health and other services.
Opportunities: Flexibility (eg Shared Lives).
Innovation (eg use of assistive technology)
User friendly (eg support for user to use mainstream servicesrather than social care provision).
Self Directed Support (eg carers feel in control and can tailor
care and support to meet their desired outcomes).

Think Family!
People with higher support needs can be heavily relianton families and carers who often have the power andinfluence to kill or drive an entrepeneurial idea[Community Catalysts, 2011]
Families are the new micro commissioners and the newmicro providers. But they need high quality information,advice and support to do things differently. Its easy to
forget the emotional side of caring, the what ifs. Id liketo see us use the New Zealand system of Whanau,
whole family discussions and engagement in the future.

Thinking positively valuing families, valuingdiversity
Personalisation means re-focusing on
users and carers, their lives at home and
in the community and being ambitious.
No assumptions about role or aspiration
of user or carer: building employment options
and other family responsibilities into assessment and
resource allocation systems.
Personal Budgets a balance of interests? Managing bothcarers and users aspirations and preferences.

2lst Century care and support new options aroundemployment
I became a carer overnight when my husband had a stroke. Hedid make quite a good recovery. But the discharge fromhospital was a nightmare. I had to give up work after sixmonths and we could have lost the house. We were so lucky,with a sympathetic GP, a good CIL and a wonderful PA for my
husband, we got our lives back. The Personal Budget made uscitizens again!
Personal budgets? I didnt want a
day service, I wanted a life. MyPA has madeit happen.

Work matters! [Professor John Glasby, 2010,The Case for Social Care Reform]
[We need] an approach which seeks to gain broader social
and economic benefits from investment in social care. Areresources currently over-focussed on crisis prevention in acutehealth and social services with insufficient investment in preventionand wider community services?
The evidence [on outcomes from investment in social care]
suggests that many carers are disadvantaged and prevented fromcontributing more fully to the economy and society through
spending so much time caring and with lack of support. Greatersupport for carers could lead to additional earnings of 750million for working carers, hence social care should be seen asa form of social and economic investment rather than crisismanagement for both individuals and society as a whole.

Employment opportunities for people of working agein new systems of care and support!
Some key messages from the Sayce Review (2011) on newdirections in employment to support disabled people into work
can we apply same messages to carers?
Rapid information, support and adjustments to aid job
retentionand/or advice on social enterprise options. Flexible and ongoing support for employees and employers
where needed to get in, stay in and get on.
Working with employers, recognising that small and medium-sized employers less likely to have resources to do things
differently. Working with Jobcentre Plus advisers to support and where
necessary constructively challenge employers .
Positive images of carers as valued members of workforce!

Treating people equally does not mean treatingthem the same: Recognition of the family, cultural, social andage related context for decisions about care and support.
Managing transitions:From school to adult services, fromhospital to home.
Recognising the range of family priorities: Families
may have multiple care needs (eg children, older relatives)support may need to be tailored to working lives.

What if? Safeguarding and risk
management
Challenge for CQC and other regulatory bodies and for userand provider networks: current focus on residential care(Winterbourne View, elder care in NHS provision) BUT:
Proportionate risk management a challenge for all services:Adult Safeguarding Boards statutary requirement - can we usethem creatively and strategicallyto improve confidence in qualityand safety of local services?
The duty to investigate people using services who may be atrisk of abuse of harm: Steven Hoskin case (and EHRC report,2011) a reminder that the community can also be a dangerous case
