ADASS South West – Strategic Overview

In 2020 the Directors of Adult Social Services across the South West agreed a Policy Framework that set out four key objectives: ​

1. ​strengthen resilience in our communities and build a diverse, sustainable market ​
2. embed a “Home is best” model in true partnership with community health, acute and Primary Care Networks​
3. strengthen person centred practice​
4. strengthen and grow a competent workforce for the future​

This included six Strategic Aims:
​

1. Embed person centred, strengths based practice that promotes positive risk taking and sits within an ethical framework.​
2. To facilitate a diverse, sustainable high- quality market for the whole local population.​
3. Provide support that is part of wider communities and support networks. ​
4. Secure sustainable funding that both deals with immediate pressures and provides a long-term settlement to  plan for care​
5. Secure and value the social care workforce so that this is seen as a career of choice.​
6. Promote models of care that deliver independence, wellbeing and choice.
