Relocation, portability and social care practice: investigating the barriers and solutions encountered by disabled people when moving across local authority areas for employment and education reasons

Marsland D

Abstract

Moving locality can be a difficult and stressful time for anyone. For people with local authority funded social care support, the challenges may be magnified. This study explored the experiences of people who have moved and relocated their social care support to a new local authority. The study also examined what social care practitioners do in helping people to relocate.
