Decision details

Steve Gross, executive director for adult services, health and wellbeing presented an update on the actions taken in response to the internal audit report on Adult Health and Wellbeing.

Previously the committee had been informed of two service areas where the audit team had given limited assurance.  These included direct payments to vulnerable adults and assessment tools for adult social care.

The committee noted the measures being taken to address the concerns raised in respect of direct payments. These included a training programme for staff and a review of service users with learning disability and dementia in receipt of direct payments. 

In respect of assessment tools for adult social care, it was noted that the majority of cases were now being recorded on FACE (Functional Assessment of the Care Environment). It was also noted that measures were in place to identify any learning and development required and that e learning and direct support was available to staff.

Resolved:  That the report be noted.
