Decision details

A new strategy for adult social care has been co-designed, with priorities developed from what people have told us is important to them. The strategy will:

•       Reflect the voices of the people who access care and their carers, as well as staff, providers and partners.

•       Set out the overarching priorities to support people accessing care and their carers in West Sussex over the next three years.

•       Act as a framework to plan how the County Council will invest its adult social care budget going forward. 

The strategy has been co-designed with County Council staff, customers, carers, providers and other partners, to ensure the voices of service users and carers are at the heart of the future of adult social care in West Sussex. The Cabinet will be asked to endorse the strategy at its meeting on 1 February 2022.

Following consideration of the report, Cabinet resolved to:

Approve the strategy ‘The life you want to lead – Adult Social Care in West Sussex’.

The call-in deadline is 10 February 2022.
