Resetting the relationship between local and national government. Read our Local Government White Paper

Ripe for reform: the sector agrees, now the public expects – A guide to the care and support white paper


The Local Government Association (LGA) has long campaigned for reform of our care and support system and we believe we are edging closer to seeing real, tangible change for the better. The forthcoming white paper will be the next important milestone on this journey and we want to use its publication to continue building the momentum for reform. This reference guide sets out what we hope to see in the white paper and the measures we will be using to judge it. This is about the likelihood of the white paper moving us toward the sort of system we want in the future. We hope this guide therefore helps you to understand what the LGA wants from the white paper and provides you with a means for gauging its potential impact.
