Social Care Reform
TLAP works to influence areas of policy across government that affect people who draw on care and support. We see personalisation and community-centred support as a gateway to social care reform.
We are working closely with the government in response to the White Paper, Putting People at the Heart of Care, to promote personalisation and co-production.Read our response here.
