In 2008 the Welsh Assembly Government held a major consultation and engagement programme on the general direction that reform of the social care system should take. The results of that consultation have helped to shape the proposals set out in this Green Paper. Reponses are invited to questions on disability benefits, bringing money into the system, different funding options, ways to contribute and whether there should be a nationally or a locally determined funding system.

The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) welcomes the green paper’s emphasis on independence and choice, and also wishes to encourage careful thinking about the issues of interdependence and control. SCIE supports the proposal to have an inclusive debate about risk. Structural change may be necessary, but is certainly not sufficient. The green paper recognises this, particularly through the emphasis on cultural change. Drawing on what is known about the implementation of changes designed to promote user- and carer-centred working, SCIE argues for an incremental approach and for forthcoming legislation to be framed in a way that allows for learning and experimentation by all concerned, including the users of services and their carers and supporters. The green paper’s seven outcomes for social care cannot be delivered by social care alone. Effective, outcome-focused partnership working across the human services and spanning from central government to the frontline must therefore be resourced and developed.
