• Knowing the options, getting the right advice
• The care gamble: planners v. crisis movers
• Implications, risks and expectations

• A wider, more balanced discussion (not ‘them’ and ‘us’)• A broader and bolder offer, including good quality

relationships• An asset-based approach, opportunities for mutuality
and reciprocity• Innovation and getting the basics right
