Implementation of the Care Act 2014 - Review of Adult Social Care Policies and Procedures

 

 

The Care Act is the most significant piece of adult social care legislation for 60 years and has changed the financial, legal, commissioning and operational landscape for councils, their workforce, for citizens, social care providers and partners.

 

Many of the major provisions affecting social care policy and practice came into effect on 1st April 2015.  A comprehensive review of the County Council's adult social care policies, procedures and practice guidance to reflect the duties outlined within the Care Act 2014 has therefore been necessary.

 

Members are asked to consider and approve the revised policies and procedures completed as part of phase one of the review programme.
