Workplace policies and practices of care

Abstract

Workplace policies and practices of care are designed to support workers’ caring responsibilities outside of the workplace as well as their general wellbeing. A previous CRFR briefing (McKie et al 2004) detailed the ‘carescapes’ framework for evaluating an individual worker’s caring practices. This briefing looks at how the framework can be extended and used to consider workplace policy, services and structures and how these combine to support care.
