We will

✔️ Make early intervention and prevention, together with strength-based working, part of all aspects of our work across the Adult Social Care System and in our proactive engagement with the developing Integrated Care System in the county.
✔️ We will build a world class ‘model’ of short term care (the ‘Enhanced Independence Offer’) together with NHS and other partners; improving the impact of short term help to make sure people regain their confidence and independence whenever possible; for example, after a stay in hospital.
✔️ Deliver a Technology Strategy: exploring the potential of technology to support carers and improve the quality of care that people receive.
✔️ Work with independent care providers to address capacity gaps and over provision including use of central government funding to improve the terms and conditions of care sector staff.
✔️ Respond to any legislation following the Government’s commitment to produce a White Paper which will begin a once in a generation transformation of adult social care (“Build Back Better. Our Plan for Health and Social Care” September 2021).[1]
