The Big Care Debate

On the subject of social care and providing feedback, the Big Care Debate continues. You can visit their website here, and there’s a new section of the site which enables you to upload a photo and see what you might look like when you get older. The Big Care Debate is, of course, in large part about developing quality care services for the elderly. Prior to uploading your photo, you’ll be asked some simple questions about those services, and be given the opportunity to take part in the debate.

Andy Burnham has said that, “‘The challenge for Government is to build a care and support system that delivers fairer, more affordable and more joined up support for older people. At the moment, there’s a big gap between people’s aspirations and what is affordable under the current care and support system. That’s why we’re changing care and support and we want to get people’s views on how the system needs to change.” As we keep saying here, your opinions really do matter – quality care is, after all, about matching services to reality.

So make a visit to the Face of Care and get thinking. We hope the photographic results are to your taste!
