Continuity over a life

The person—not the model, institution, parent, device, or current service—is the continuity subject.

Why this pathway exists

Continuity is a governed life-course problem. Useful knowledge must survive handover while authority, privacy, identity, and current truth can mature or be revised.

Support often resets at the exact moments continuity matters most: a new carer, setting, service threshold, adulthood, provider failure, or a parent’s death.

Phase One establishes a research position. It does not claim a deployed care system, clinical authority, or a finished product.

Research remains openPhase Two inquiry

Questions carried forward

What this folder does not pretend to settle.

01
What constitutes a credible continuity and succession rehearsal?
02
How should relational continuity be preserved without simulating someone who died?
03
Which public, community, family, and provider responsibilities remain independent of technology?

Bring perspective to the work.

We welcome careful dialogue concerning Disabled adults, families, transition and supported-living practitioners, social-care teams, succession planners, community organisations, and life-course researchers.

Please do not send children’s records or sensitive care data in an initial enquiry.

Begin with the research question and the perspective you bring.
