Background
The BBC programme ‘Crisis in Care‘, was shown on BBC1 on the 29th May and 5th June. It can still be watched online via BBC iPlayer. Over 10 months, a small team from the BBC’s Panorama programme documented the realities of how the care system is working in England. Based in Somerset, they followed the stories of people needing care and of the people trying to provide it. The pressures faced here are being felt across the country as the demand for help from an ageing population increases and local authorities struggle with tight finances.
