The Royal College of Occupational Therapists document 'Relieving the Pressure on Social Care the Value of Occupational Therapy' file:///C:/Users/Mish/AppData/Loca/Temp/ILSM%20Social%20Care%20report%20(Web)-1.pdf
This document states that the college’s data indicates that despite making up just 4% of the regulated workforce, occupational therapists address 35 - 45% of local authority referrals. This demonstrates that funding occupational therapy services delivers a significant return on investment.
Furthermore this document it identifies that in social care the occupational therapists act at 3 levels:
At a UNIVERSAL level: person centredness and informed choices;
At a TARGETED level: removing barriers and how this is delivered is contextualised to the person;
At a SPECIALIST level: working with particular populations & or focus on housing that is putting an occupational lens on social justice.
