Caring, jobs and growth - The hidden economic power of adult social care in the West Midlands
Last week the Government published its Industrial Strategy for the UK, over 300 years from when Abraham Darby opened the first furnace powered by coke in Coalbrookdale, Shropshire. That industrial revolution led to a transformation of society across the world. The current challenges facing our communities now are significantly different but I believe they require an equally revolutionary approach. One in three children born in the UK today are expected to live to be 100. The prospect of longer lives will require all of us to plan our careers and retirement differently. The government has identified the Ageing Society as one of its key challenges and wants to harness the power of innovation to help meet people’s changing needs. With this in mind, West Midlands ADASS has recently refocused its vision to: “a region with a sustainable health & care system, that supports thriving local economies communities; promoting independence & social justice.”
