Recommendation 25

25

Government must view social care as an enabler and driver of economic growth

Conclusion
The Government needs to fundamentally change how it views the social care sector, seeing it as an enabler and talking about it in those terms in the public debate - both for the invaluable service it provides to so many people and also as a driver of economic growth. We welcome recent positive words about the potential of the sector and hope that this marks the starting of a broader shift in the narrative. (Conclusion, Paragraph 130)
