      Three ways to see the future of care

      1. Keep care human

      Care should create time, trust and connection between people, with technology and policy working quietly in support.

      2. Support across life

      Care should move with people as lives change, without cliff edges between childhood, adulthood, work, family or ageing.

      3. Care belongs in places

      Care should be shaped around homes, neighbourhoods, nature, transport, food, green space and everyday community life.
