CSCI has published a new bulletin which aims to address the needs of black and minority ethnic people using care services. The bulletin calls for black and minority ethnic people to have their cultural and social needs addressed on a more personal level. This will help to ensure that their specific needs are adequately considered during assessments by care homes and providers. The bulletin is aimed at care providers – people who run care homes - to help them address the new government agenda, Putting People First.

The report says that clear guidelines and well-resourced services are needed to ensure dignity of care for people who use services. It looks at the issues and dilemmas around restraint, particularly the tensions between respecting people’s rights to freedom and to make choices, while at the same time ensuring people’s safety. Although there is policy and legislation to respect people’s human rights, the report suggests that in practice care workers have been left largely unsupported to deal with these tensions.

This report looks at the experiences of older people and carers who need care providers to help them adjust to the life changes associated with ageing - not just to arrange care services. Social care agencies need to engage with older people about what they want, and work alongside them to enable them to choose the best possible lifestyle for them.

The Healthcare Commission, the Commission for Social Care Inspection and the Audit Commission have jointly undertaken a review to create a national snapshot of the state of services for older people. The review looked at a range of services including care services and services that contribute towards the wellbeing and quality of life of older people. It also looked at progress against the Government’s National Service Framework (NSF) for Older People. This is the first collaborative in depth review carried out by the three commissions and the findings of this review have been published in the report Living well in later life: a review of progress against the National Service Framework for Older People.

This report shows that people today looking ahead to older age have high expectations of the social care services they might receive. They strongly value independence and choice. They would choose to receive care intheir own homes rather than move into a care environment. And they want services that suit their needs and respect their rights. People clearly want rigorous inspection of social care services, too. They want frequent inspections, with little or no notice given to those responsible for the service. However, they also want inspections to be carried out differently, they want the balance to shift more towards talking to the people using the service and their families, and spending time simply observing what goes on, and away from checking paperwork. Britain’s population is ageing and people are living longer than ever before. The largest group of adult users of social care is people aged 65 or over, an age group that is predicted to increase by 43 per cent by 2026. Demographic trends and people’s expectations pose an urgent challenge to everyone involved in developing social care policy, in planning and delivering services, and in inspecting and regulating those services
