Abstract
Innovation alters who is accountable for social care and how they are held to account. This article shows how organisational, institutional, and technological innovation in infrastructures of social care can reconfigure accountability instruments and propel change between distinct modes of accountability. But innovation also sustains neglect: in terms of issues, objects and subjects missing from research; and in terms of low levels of institutional reflexivity mobilized to evaluate and direct innovation’s impacts. Evidenced using situational analysis at two levels – across a UK research portfolio and within a public robotics lab – we argue confronting this neglect is critical for post-pandemic reform.
