Reflections on ’A gloriously ordinary life’: In conversation with Baroness Andrews
----
The House of Lords Adult Social Care Committee has been looking into what needs to change to create a fair, resilient and sustainable care system that better enables everyone to ‘live an ordinary life’, and in so doing, to have greater choice and control over their lives.
This episode is a reflection, in Baroness Andrews' own words, on the recent report published by the Committee, 'A “gloriously ordinary life’’: spotlight on adult social care’. The report included evidence submitted by colleagues at the Centre for Care, including Kate Hamblin, who hosts this episode.
The Baroness gives a first hand account on the workings behind the report, how crucial research helped shape it, and how those with lived experience were central to its creation and successful reception.
