Calls for the professionalising of homecare are often driven by a perceived gap in knowing ‘good care’. However, many training solutions are underpinned by a cognitivist notion of knowing as a rational process of making sense of sense. A different approach to knowing homecare is provided in this article, based on a very different set of assumptions on knowing and knowledge. Suggestions for researching homecare are provided, underpinned by the notion of sensory ways of knowing. These other ways of knowing ‘good care’ potentially reconfigure who and what are able to be attended to in the field of homecare. (Edited publisher abstract)

This report provides an estimate of the economic value of unpaid carers in the UK economy and updates previous estimates published by Carers UK in 2011. Key findings estimate the economic value of the contribution made by carers in the UK is £132 billion per year, almost double its value in 2001. This is close to the total annual cost of health spending in the UK which was £134.1 billion in 2014-15. The report then looks at why the value of care has increased and identifies three main factors: an increase in the number of hours of care provided by carers, an increase in the number of carers, and a reduction in home care support by local authorities. Recommendations include the need to address the underfunding of social care, improve financial support for carers and the introduction of a right to paid care leave. Appendices provide figures for local authorities (England, Wales & Scotland) and Health and Social Care Trusts (Northern Ireland) on the number of carers and their value for 2015. Comparisons are also provided for 2001 and 2011. (Edited publisher abstract)
