This policy briefing explores the principles that would need to underpin any sustainable social care settlement from the perspective of mental health support for working age adults in England. It reviews the current funding and provision of mental health social work and highlights the vital role mental health social work plays helping people to live independently and to secure their rights and dignity. In addition, local authorities play a key role in providing valuable support carers and commission advocacy services, including for people subject to the Mental Health Act. It concludes that a sustainable solution for social care funding needs to recognise the importance of mental health social work and resolve the confusion between health, housing and social care funding for people with ongoing care needs.
