Our vision for social care

We help people and their carers who, as a result of disability, ill health or ageing, need advice, information and support to live safely and well.

We will help people to

• live independently and in good health for as long as possible
• enjoy the best quality of life
• take a full part in the community where they live
• remain in control of key decisions about how they want to live
• be free from discrimination and treated fairly
• maximise their income through work and benefits
• look after themselves and stay safe.

We will do this by

• giving people different ways to find information and advice about services
• making available a wide range of services
• giving people the choice in how their services are arranged by using their Personal Budgets
• helping families, friends and communities to continue to provide care
• involving people in planning to improve services
• raising awareness of abuse so that we can better protect people
• working with other organisations.

In 2010 to 2011 we will

• complete our three year plan to change how we provide social care - Putting People First
• improve how we support people from all backgrounds to ensure that everyone has fair access to services
• deliver more services jointly with the NHS
• use our resources more efficiently.
