Future of Social Care – Inclusion and young people in the National Care Service

As Scotland heads towards a new National Care Service, the ALLIANCE’s “Future of Social Care” series will be investigating some of the key issues at play. In this episode, ALLIANCE Senior Policy Officer Dr Hannah Tweed interviews Meg Thomas, Head of Research, Policy & Participation at includem. They discuss includem’s work supporting children, young people and families, what can stop them from accessing services, and the need to design a National Care Service that works for those facing the biggest barriers in society.
