Description
This presentation provided the background to social care in the UK/Scotland, including eligibility criteria as a mechanism for controlling spend. Challenges presented by eligibility criteria include concerns about people being excluded from support, with less attention to prevention and early intervention. There is also a lack of consistency in application within and between councils, despite the stated intentions of fairness and equity. The presentation included information about the Scottish Government review of social care (2021) and findings from recent research by the speaker on possible alternatives to eligibility criteria.
