West Sussex County Council seeks local feedback on proposals for adult care (24 July 2017)

Duncan Lewis, Family Solicitors, West Sussex County Council seeks local feedback on proposals for adult care

West Sussex County Council is asking local residents to help shape how the county council delivers adult social care in the future.

The council is considering a new approach where people, their families and carers can meet with council staff in local settings to discuss their social care needs, including talking to more people at an earlier stage of care and supporting them to stay as independent as possible.

The council also proposes to hold informal drop in sessions in local communities, where people can talk to the county council about social care.

People will also be connected to services and activities in their local communities.

The proposals take into account of feedback from local people about their experiences of using adult social care.

The new approach has been trialled in some areas of the county since January this year.

A survey at the council’s website is running until Friday 11 August for the public to offer further comments – and asks for people’s views on the proposals and asks what would be important to them if the council took this approach.

Council Leader and Cabinet Member for Adults, Louise Goldsmith, said:

“We really hope to hear from as many people as possible who use our services, their families and carers, voluntary and community organisations and all local people who have an interest in adult social care.

“We will then consider all the views before we decide on the way forward.”


The Leader of the county council will make a decision in the autumn by about how adult social care will be delivered in the future.
