June 2009

In advance of the UK Government Green Paper on social care, we commissioned this independent survey to explore public levels of awareness and understanding of social care provision. This research is part of our wider work with the Institute of Public Policy Research (ippr) about the future of social care.

Key themes emerging from the research:

Low awareness and uncertainty: confusion about the nature of social care services
Misconceptions about social care funding
Lack of preparation and planning for care needs
Reluctance towards greater family responsibility for funding and providing care
Support for a more collective, universal system
A strong desire for more information and debate on the future of social care
