23Policy Details
We are currently reviewing the Adult Social Care for people with care and support needs policy.
1.1 This policy is about the Adult Social Care services provided under the Care Act 2014 (the Care Act) by Gloucestershire County Council (we / the council) for people who, as a result of a disability, illness or mental ill health, may need help with everyday activities to stay independent and safe.
Download a copy of the Policy here: ASC-For-People-With-Care-And-Support-Needs-Policy-2021.pdf
1.2 For Adult Social Care services for carers, please see our Carers - Adult Social Care for carers | Gloucestershire County Council policy.
1.3 The Care Act allows local authorities to delegate certain social care duties to other individuals and organisations. The council may delegate certain Adult Social Care duties to specialist partners (delegated organisations).
1.4 This policy applies to:
- Adults (18 years and over) with care and support needs. This includes adults who may self fund their own care and support
- People aged under 18 with care and support needs who are eligible for a child’s needs assessment under section 58 of the Care Act (transition assessment)
- Staff in Adult Social Care, brokerage and commissioning teams
- Any delegated organisation authorised by the council to provide its Adult Social Care assessment, planning and / or review functions. Delegated organisations must meet the requirements of this policy when acting on behalf of the council
