Our colleagues at Capita, a US-based think tank focusing on family policy, will host us and some other partners to explore the care transition on the 23rd of October.
What is the care transition? Simply put, it’s the transition from a conception of care based on an industrial service-provision model, to a model that appreciates care as a consistent and human experience.
The implications of such a transition for society are immense. From policy finally recognising the importance of community-based care to education including modules on care, or from new compensation models for caregivers to technology companies building products designed to care for societies rather than harm them, this discussion could not be more relevant.
Communities and individuals require increasingly more care and service providers will not be able to respond to those needs alone. Providing care is a human privilege we should all get to share. A care transition will be inevitable. If we start now, we can act on it rather than react to it.
