Could a democratic ownership model help improve public trust in social care?

[Lucie Stephens]

Is there a democratically accountable ownership model for health and care services that could make a difference? Could the active membership and co-operative ownership of workers, service users, volunteers and family members rebuild public trust in services and put an end to cruelty and neglect through a socially inclusive solution where the system of care is owned by the recipients?

Check out this blog launching a new co-operatives research report Social Co-operatives, a Democratic Co-Production Agenda for Care Se.... 

I'd love to hear about your experiences of this approach and thoughts on the report.

Cheers,

Lucie
