The Care Act
The Care Act 2014, which came into effect from 1st April 2015, represents the most significant reform of care and support in more than 60 years. It intends to put people and their carers in control of their care and support.
About The Care Act
The Care Act, a significant piece of legislation, amalgamates various pre-existing laws that formerly guided the arrangement of social care in Britain.
The goal of this consolidation is to simplify the general public's understanding of why specific social care procedures take place the way they do.
Moreover, the Care Act ushers in considerable changes to the approach towards arranging support services. It is designed with the intent to empower those who require assistance, giving them more control and influence over their care.
In essence, the Act strives to democratize the social care system, placing the needs and preferences of the care recipient at the forefront.
