Professor Sue Yeandle (University of Sheffield, UK) discusses the origins and characteristics of the contemporary care crisis in England.

Paradoxically, this crisis has emerged amid policies ostensibly centred on the support needs of individuals and a focus on their wellbeing in relevant legislation. Professor Yeandle will look at the marketisation of adult social care services in England, and discuss the uneven impact and consequences of care sector activism. She will argue that there are both positive and negative lessons to learn from experiences in England, and will be happy to discuss these with stakeholders and experts in the New Zealand context.
