One Social Care is an independent public participation, evidence and reform platform.

We bring together lived experience, professional knowledge and trusted evidence so people can better understand social care, contribute their ideas, test proposed solutions and help hold institutions accountable for meaningful change.

Better care begins when more people can participate in improving it.

2035  VISION

The future we’re building

By 2035, Social Care and Support in Britain will have been transformed, ensuring that every person is seen, heard and respected. This begins with three simple ideas.

Explore the Vision
Image

Keep care human

Technology, policy and services should create more time for care, trust and human connection - not replace them.
Image

Support across life

Care should move with people through life, without cliff edges between children’s, adult and later-life support.
Image

Care belongs in places

Care should be rooted in local life, with families, neighbours, green spaces and local support treated as part of the system.
