Adult social care
Latest: 'Putting People First’ – Adult Social Care exists to help a range of people who need support in their everyday lives. The introduction of ‘Putting People First’ will give these people more control over the type of help they receive, and who they receive it from.
Adult social care helps people who need extra support, or vulnerable people to live as independently as possible. We do this by working with health services, voluntary groups and private care organisations to arrange services for:
