From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
'Quality in Home Care - Searching for the Holy Grail'
This ‘conversation’ addresses a fundamental problem in the developed world – the ambivalence about care work among those who need it, pay for it, organise it and do it.
The presentation will be given by Jill Manthorpe, Professor of Social Work at King’s College London and Director of the Social Care Workforce Research Unit at King’s College London, a Department of Health Policy Research Unit. She has undertaken multiple care-related studies investigating new roles, issues relating to demand and supply, and policy initiatives and will draw on this in her seminar.
Professor Manthorpe’s presentation will consider a range of aspects of the contemporary problematisation of quality in home care, pointing out echoes of debates about the servant problem for the upper and middle classes a century ago and will be followed by an open discussion.
