Abstract

Report on the SCIE commissioned investigation on the role of social care in the response and recovery to emergency incidents. The objective was to research current literature and practice around the provision and coordination of social care support, following an emergency, in order to identify learning and good practice for statutory social care professionals. The knowledge review comprised a thorough research review on the expected role of social care and on lessons learned from welfare responses to previous emergencies. In addition a practice survey was undertaken incorporating views of a variety of stakeholders and including six original case studies of social care responses to emergency incidents in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
