The documentary, now available on ITVX, prompts us to ask a vital question: what is the cost to those who selflessly take on the responsibility of caring for others? And where would an already strained social care system be without them?

One important thing to think about is the way permission structures can be built into technologies, says Emma Back of @equalcarecoop - adapting tech to give more power to workers instead of managers, and change existing workplace power structures, is key.
