The way forward for Supporting People: Challenges and opportunities for BME organisations

Abstract

At a significant time in the development of the Supporting People programme, this article considers the focus on individual service users, the proposals put forward to achieve it and the impact of this emphasis, reflecting the wider policy focus in other public services and the inherent tensions between the stated aims and delivery in a context of limited resources. In particular it focuses on the role of and impact on black and minority ethic (BME) providers.
