I have three wishes for social care in 2015.
My first is that we move from talk to action. The Care Act is a pretty remarkable piece of legislation; it is the right act. But words on a page and even new duties do not guarantee the changes they describe. Care and support will not be a radically different place all of a sudden on 1 April 2015. It will not just happen. Implementation will take a huge amount of vision and ambition matched by hard graft from everyone involved.
My wish is that as we gear up for 2015, there will be as much emphasis on the promotion of individual wellbeing, on building strong and inclusive communities and on the importance of co-production with people and families in implementing the reforms, as on the many other changes being introduced. I am director of Think Local Act Personal, and on our part we will be shifting the focus of our activity in 2015 towards supporting people to engage with our resources.
