In November, the Centre for Care and IMProving Adult Care Together Centre were invited by the ESRC to co-convene a workshop on the future of social care research. The two Centres brought together to bring together expertise from across the four UK nations related to adult social care from people with lived experience of care and support, the care sector (providers, advocacy organisations and other sector stakeholders) and academia. Thirty-four people attended and were distributed across four discussion groups to ensure an even spread of expertise in the virtual break-out rooms, with representatives from UKRI in each. ESRC will use this report to discuss future priorities with other research funders.
