The Government is committed to immediate action to stabilise the care sector and has instituted the Casey Commission to produce an interim report in 2026 and develop a solution for long-term reform of the sector with broad political support by 2028.
We have consulted with a wide range of officers across our network – including heads of service, commissioners and directors of children’s and adult services – to offer an informed perspective from the front line, and an additional set of constructive recommendations and ideas, focused both on immediate need and on the longer-term solution.
