PAIS MA student reports on the activities of the PSA Commission on Care
Keira Koroma, a MA student in PAIS, is currently working as a student research assistant with Dr. Juanita Elias on the Political Studies Association Commission on Care.
The Commission held an event in Coventry on 11 March that brought together policy specialists, academics, and paid and unpaid care workers to discuss the challenges facing those engaged in the care of older people in England. It is widely acknowledged that the adult social care sector is in crisis - a crisis triggered by rapid and sustained cuts to local authority budgets under the current government's austerity programmes.
Please read Keira's report to find out more about this important event and how the care crisis is impacting locally in Coventry: http://www.commissiononcare.org/2016/04/22/read-the-report-on-the-work-on-care-event-in-coventry
Keira is employed as a student research assistant in PAIS as part of an important scheme that offers our students work experience and an opportunity to work with PAIS academics on areas of cutting edge research.
