Choice-making pathways in social care and support

The small study between the University of Leeds and Community Catalysts explored:

• How people make choices about their care
• How they obtain information
• The barriers they face in choosing the care and support they want.

The research considered these 'choice-making pathways' in the light of the Care Act (2014), which was intended to increase the control people have over their care and choice in how their needs are met.
