description | This paper explores contemporary Irish social policy for family caregivers with specific focus on the dynamic between the individual, the family and the state in terms of the social contract for care provision for people with intellectual disability. Drawing from Bacchi’s analytical framework (Bacchi, 2009), the Irish National Carers’ Strategy is interrogated specifically with regards to how it frames and assumes the social contract for family care provision for adults with an intellectual disability. We suggest that Irish social policy constructs family caregiving as the assumed natural and neutral point of departure for providing care within society, and this constructed identify is subsequently reinforced through the provisions contained with the policies themselves that seek to support such caregivers. A fundamental reconsideration of the social contract for such care provision and support with society would appear warranted. |
