What factors affect well-being for personal assistants to disabled people? An ethics of care analysis of a systematic review
Personal assistants (PAs) emanate from the independent living movement and were introduced in response to disabled people’s oppression, rooted in discrimination, institutionalisation and asymmetrical forms of care. PA schemes allow disabled people to directly employ a PA, enabling choice and control over how and by whom support is provided. Empirical research demonstrates the complexity or ‘troubles’ entangled in PA–employer relationships, alongs…
Examining aged-care arrangements in Zimbabwean transnational families
Transnational caregiving within African families, particularly in the context of aged care, is an underexplored area, especially regarding the impact of migration. This article examines caregiving arrangements in Zimbabwean transnational families, focusing on how migration reshapes traditional caregiving practices. By utilising the concepts of family solidarity and normative obligation, the article explores how gendered expectations of duty influ…
Personalisation in racially minoritised groups within UK adult social care
Although evidence shows that personalisation improves access to health and social care for UK’s racially minoritised groups, research suggests that uptake is low due to racism, discrimination and negative experiences with mainstream services. A systematic literature review of 45 articles found that racially minoritised individuals choose personalisation for greater control and choice over their care but face systemic barriers, including a complic…
Mum Added You' Managing Transnational Aged Care Arrangements Through Family WhatsApp Groups
Increasing global migration and (im)mobilities are affecting the provision of aged care in transnational families. Such families rely on digital communication technologies like WhatsApp to manage and maintain aged care obligations across borders. This study investigates the role of WhatsApp family groups in enabling transnational families to manage transnational aged care from a distance. I draw on interviews with three transnational family const…
Unravelling the tensions
An increasing number of studies have examined the impact of migration on reconciling familial care obligations with demanding paid care work. However, much of this research focuses on women who employ migrant care workers and ignores the experiences of migrant care workers balancing their jobs with their own familial responsibilities. As a result, little is known about how migrant care workers navigate local contexts, form families, and manage wo…
The vulnerability of Central & Eastern European and Zimbabwean migrant home care workers’ wellbeing in the UK
The UK welfare system and growth in social care escalate the demand for migrant care workers (MCWs) as a system-level intervention. However, the UK migration regime creates structural barriers and facilitators for different groups of MCWs. The nature of the UK migration and social care policies, combined with societal systems, including racism, affect the wellbeing of MCWs. This article addresses current literature gaps investigating the interpla…
Who decides ‘what works’, and how does it get implemented? Insights from the UK’s new centre for implementing evidence in adult social care
The UK’s adult social care system faces severe challenges, including funding shortages, unmet needs and an overburdened workforce. Resultantly, there is a push for high-quality evidence in service enhancement and resource allocation. Using evidence to improve services is essential, but questions arise about best practices for identifying ‘what works’, integrating evidence into everyday practice and addressing resource constraints. Findings from a…

Analysing migrants' ageing in place as embodied practices of embedding through time
There is growing attention to how people navigate and make sense of particular places through the ageing process. Against this backdrop, there is increasing research on ageing in contexts of migration. Although much of this research focuses on retirement and return migration, comparatively less is known about migrants who remain in the destination society, especially in advanced old age. Drawing on qualitative data, we analyse the experiences of …
