The Care Act 2014
"The most significant piece of legislation in our sector since the establishment of the welfare state.
It builds on a patchwork of legislation built up since the 1948 National Assistance Act. The Act begins by defining the primary responsibility of local authorities as the promotion of individual wellbeing.
There is a shift from the duty to provide services to meeting needs. Of course everyone has individual needs so local authorities won’t be able to comply with the Act by providing one size fits all services but by putting the person at the centre of their offer.
A key part of the Act is a focus on preventing or delaying the need for support. This might mean investing in preventative services and fully utilising any existing community resources, facilities and assets to prevent people’s needs escalating unnecessarily.
Carers (who are people who provide unpaid care and support, often a family member or friend) are given significant new entitlements under the Act. It’s hoped that they will be supported to maintain their caring role for longer."
