What we are determined to ensure

As adult social care commissioners, we are determined to ensure:

• The care and support needs of people and communities are understood.
• There is a varied and resilient provider market with sufficient capacity to meet demand now and into the future.
• Local people, including those who fund or arrange their own care, have access to a diverse range of safe, effective, high quality support options to meet their care and support needs.
• Services are sustainable, affordable and provide continuity for people.
• We actively work towards integrating care and support services with those provided by partner agencies to achieve better outcomes for people who need care and support and unpaid carers and to reduce inequalities.
• Partnership working helps ensure that care and support meets the diverse needs of individuals and communities.
• People experience seamless care and support journeys, and their support is well coordinated across different agencies and services.
