The five-year All-Age Prevention Strategy, builds on our ambition to support people to remain well and independent for longer. This will help to reduce demand for more intensive services, ensuring that the right care continues to be available for everyone who needs additional care and support.
Reflecting our Council-wide focus on being ambitious for our children, Adult Social Care and Children's Services have worked together to improve the experience and support provided through transition. This is the period when a young person moves from being supported by Children's Services, to being supported by Adult Social Care. This proactive joint work will continue.
We are also preparing for an inspection of our adherence to Care Act duties and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) Adult Social Care framework. Through our focus on continuous improvement we are building on what we are doing well and taking positive action to deliver on-going improvements to meet the needs of people with care and support needs and unpaid carers in Solihull.
Further improve support for unpaid carers, by continuing to offer a range of support options including respite at home as well as in care settings, direct payment support, and improved access to information and advice. We will use feedback from carers to further develop our improvement plans.
Fulfil our statutory safeguarding duties while continually improving practice and providing accessible support for people who need it.
- Work with the local care market to assure good quality care in Solihull through a range of care and support options, to ensure people's needs are met in the way that is best for them, supporting their wellbeing and independence.
