    Policy Details

We are currently reviewing the Adult Social Care for people with care and support needs policy.

5.1   The council recognises that people want to remain independent for as long as possible.

5.2   Our first response from our first contact with an adult will be to consider what may help them to maintain, regain or improve their independence and / or to reduce or delay the onset of needs for care and support.

5.3   We also recognise the valuable contribution of unpaid carers and when working with an adult with care and support needs will consider whether they too may benefit from preventative or other support.

Please see our Carers - Adult Social Care for carers | Gloucestershire County Council policy.

Policy published: June 2021
