Decision details

To consider the proposed Supporting People Strategy following consideration by the Health and Adult Social Care Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

Relevant Overview and Scrutiny Committee: Health and Adult Social Care

30/2010 The Cabinet agreed the Supporting People Strategy as set out in Appendix 1 to the report.

Putting People First relies on four elements to ensure that adult social care is transformed:
(1) Choice and Control
(2) Universal services
(3) Early intervention and prevention
(4) Social capital (Volunteering)
These four elements are interdependent in achieving the transformation of adult social care. Supporting People services contribute to enabling people to live independently in their local community. By supporting vulnerable people to maintain their tenancies, the council is widening opportunities for all citizens to be productive and responsible members of the community.
