Care Co-operatives in Ireland and the UK: A model for designing and delivering home care that respects and empowers care recipients, family carers and care workers.

Tuesday, 20 May, 11:00 - 12:30.
 

To register for this online event, please go to Online Webinar: Care Co-operatives in Ireland and the UK
 

In this webinar, we will hear from Emma Back, Equal Care Co-op, Yorkshire and Aoife Smith, The Great Care Co-op, Dublin, who will tell their stories about setting up a home care co-operative and how the co-operative model can provide home care in a way that respects and empowers those who matter most - people receiving care, family carers and care workers.

This will be followed by a discussion to assess how co-operative models might provide a solution to the growing challenges in care. Joining us on the panel will be Professor Emeritus Colin Talbot, University of Manchester; Dr Gerard Doyle, Technological University Dublin; and Professor Julien Mercille, University College Dublin.

The webinar will be chaired by Dr Carol Power and Dr Caroline Crowley, co-authors of the CO-AGE report, which explored the potential to develop care co-operatives in Ireland.

Presented by the Centre for Co-operative Studies, UCC, in association with the Society for Co-operative Studies in Ireland (SCSI) and the UK Society for Co-operative Studies (UKSCS).
