Social care is a multidisciplinary field of research and practice concerned with providing support and assistance to individuals and communities facing challenges related to health, age, disability, or social circumstances. It investigates the systems, policies, practices, and outcomes associated with delivering non-medical support services, characterised by its focus on promoting well-being, independence, and social inclusion for vulnerable populations. Its significance lies in addressing critical societal needs, informing effective policy development, and contributing to the overall welfare and equity of populations.
