Decision details

RESOLVED – That the Executive Board agrees:

1)            To approve the outline model proposed for Adult Social Care’s new offer of “day services”, giving wider and more intensive support from within a range of community settings for residents with qualifying assessed needs.

2)            That any decision to implement specific parts of the new “day services” offer is delegated to the Executive Member for Health and Social Care in consultation with the Director of Adults and Prevention.

3)            The use of the TIER descriptions (see Appendix1) as part of a strength based approach to assessment of needs to help ensure people access the correct level of support, within a community asset based Integrated Neighbourhood setting where possible.

4)            To approve the planned consultation with potential service users and carers across the borough to assist in continuing to develop the new “day services” offer, and the further formal consultation with young people transitioning from Children’s Services to Adult Social Care (along with their families, carers and other involved parties) regarding the development of an appropriate model of provision for this specific cohort.
