Revisited: A day on the frontline of England’s social care crisis – podcast

The article discusses the ongoing crisis in England's adult social care system. The crisis is driven by an ageing population, a funding squeeze, and a recruitment crisis, which have pushed the system to the brink. The author, John Harris, visited Greater Manchester to get a firsthand look at the daily life of a care worker and to assess the viability of saving this vital service. The podcast, which was recorded and first published in March, provides a glimpse into the challenges faced by care workers and the potential consequences of the system's collapse. The article highlights the urgent need for action to address the pressing issues facing England's adult social care sector.
