This is one of a series of guides to the Care Act 2014 that has been developed by the College of Occupational Therapists. Funded by the Department of Health and endorsed by ADASS, they will improve occupational therapists’ understanding of how to deliver the key concepts and duties within the Act.

The Guides also provide commissioners and other senior decision makers in health and social care with a valuable insight into how the occupational therapy profession will help to meet the obligations of the Act.
