“I wanted to send a note to say thank you for your support in reaching fantastic self-advocates to be a part of our work on tech and social care.
I’m pleased to share with you a copy of Doteveryone’s new report, Better Care in the Age of Automation with our recommendations for how technology can support a sustainable, effective, fair care system.
Since the beginning of the year we’ve been doing extensive research with people who give and receive care and support, with care professionals, clinicians, policymakers, providers, technologists, and activists to understand the current impact of technology on the social care sector and its potential to shape the future.
The report argues that whilst the short-term boost in social care spending, recently announced in the 2020 Spending Review, is welcome and timely, these cash injections will not be enough to fix the UK’s broken social care system.
We’ve identified three low cost solutions that must underpin the responsible use of technology in the social care sector; a long-term investment in better data, more relevant skills, and empowered communities. These are outlined in more detail below.

We hope you enjoy reading the report and would be keen to hear your feedback. We appreciate both support and challenge and hope that this work will contribute to shaping how technology can help, with the right foundations, fix the broken social care system.”
