Leading the Way: The Distinctive Contribution of the Not-for-Profit Sector in Social Care
The Institute of Public Care, Oxford Brookes University (IPC) has been commissioned by the National Care Forum (NCF) to produce a series of three papers which provide an overview and practical examples from NCF members of the distinctive contribution made by the not- for-profit sector to social care. The three papers cover:
- People: not-for-profit organisations as good employers.
- Innovation: not-for-profit organisations as deliverers of innovative and creative new forms of care.
- Value: not-for-profit organisations as providers of added value and social capital.
The first paper focuses on the distinctive contribution that the sector makes to employment practice, and why it is such an attractive sector within which to work.
The second paper focuses on the distinctive contribution that the sector makes to innovation in social care practice, and why it is so well-placed to deliver the changes which people need and public policy demands.
The third paper focuses on the distinctive contribution that the sector makes to added value and social capital through social care practice. It illustrates the wide variety of extra contribution which not-for-profit organisations make, not only to those they care for, but the communities within which they work. They demonstrate why added value is significantly more likely to be offered by the not-for-profit sector, at a time when public policy requires a more broadly based contribution from organisations that deliver social care.
