Public Call for Evidence: how can smart home technologies enhance independent living?
Policy Connect's Smart Homes and Independent Living Commission invites all stakeholders to respond to its public call for evidence, looking at:
- Local authority and Clinical Commissioning Group adult social care commissioning policies and practices;
- Using the Disabled Facilities Grant to access technology;
- Health and social care services delivery and workforce development;
- The role of local and national government in shaping the market; and
- Coproducing products and services with disabled and older people.
Responses can be submitted to all or some sections as desired. The deadline for this call for evidence is Wednesday 20th October 2021.
The Commission will examine and make recommendations on how smart home technologies can be used by disabled and older people to enhance independent living.
If you have any questions or would like our survey in an alternative accessible format, please contact Clive Gilbert.
Clive Gilbert, Policy Manager at Policy Connect, was a panellist on the Technology for an Ageing Population: Panel for Innovation (TAPPI) Inquiry. You can join us for the official launch of the TAPPI report during our HAPPIHour webinar on Tuesday 26 Oct at 4pm.
We look forward to sharing the findings from the TAPPI Inquiry with this new commission to help inform its recommendations on smart home technologies and independent living.
