This study investigates the relationship between the self-funders of domiciliary care and support and their care and support workers; the support needs of self-funders in their role as employers and the learning and development needs of both self-funders and social care and support workers.The study included a review of current evidence and face-to-face, telephone interviews, online and paper surveys with self-funders (those self-funding 50% or more of their domiciliary care were included) and care and support workers. In total, the views of 108 self-funders and 30 care and support workers employed directly by self-funders were obtained. (Original abstract)
