Ageing Well, Living Well, Caring Well Strategies
The council’s overall direction for adult social care is built on three core strategies named ‘Ageing Well’, ‘Caring Well’, and ‘Living Well’, setting out priorities over the next five years. The three strategies were co-designed with people who use services and their friends and families. They focus on how the council will support people across the city, whether they are older people, those with a care and support need with learning disabilities, mental health challenges, autism, living with additional physical or sensory difficulty, or the friends and family of people with additional needs.
A Partnership group has been formed to manage the development, delivery, and monitoring of the yearly action plans for each strategy. This will build on the work of the previous year and in reaction to emerging needs and trends.
All action plans contain a desire to further develop co-production meaning there will continue to be multiple methods for residents to be a part of the work going forward. Whether via membership of the partnership group, through focused pieces of work on specific activities or design, or by engagement through the website and social media.
We know how busy Carers are and how precious your time is. Therefore we want to try to do this in multiple ways to ensure we get as much feedback from carers as is possible in as convenient a way as possible.
We are also aware that people may be interested in more than one of the strategies and as such we will link together so people can navigate between more easily.
Caring Well
Our ‘Caring Well’ strategy is a joint strategy with health colleagues that focuses on the needs of unpaid carers, sometimes called ‘hidden carers’, which can be children or adults that find themselves in a position caring for a family member, partner or friend. These carers play a significant role in preventing the need for a more formal care provision, and the health and social care system relies on this unpaid support. Priorities and action plans within this strategy focus on the priority areas of:
identifying, respecting and valuing carers
providing suitable information and support
developing carers, knowledge and understanding
assessing carers needs
maintaining carers balance by connecting with communities and being able to take a break
recognising health and wellbeing needs,
helping carers stay in, enter or return to work education or training (if appropriate)
being prepared for changes and encouraging integration and partnership working to meet people’s needs.
