New help available for social care sector to improve support for older and disabled people
SOCIAL CARE ORGANISATIONS are being asked to go online today to publicly declare their commitment to changing the way older and disabled adults experience care and support.
Making it Real: Marking Progress with Personalisation and Community-based Support is a campaign led by Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) to encourage organisations that pay for or provide social care services to get real about improving people’s lives.
Written by older and disabled people and family carers themselves, and supported by a major coalition of the social care sector’s leading organisations, Making it Real sets out what people expect to see and experience if they are to have more choice, control and freedom to live as independently as possible. Social care organisations are encouraged to sign up online to declare support for these “markers of progress on personalisation” and start working directly with the people who use their services to assess delivery.
