30. Conclusion “ This vision demonstrates the Government’s values of freedom, fairness and responsibility, shifting power from central to local, from state to citizen, from provider to people who use services…….. The spending review prioritised resources for social care and partnership working with the NHS…… This demonstrates the importance that the Government attaches to social care services…….. It is now up to councils, working with their local communities and those who already provide care as a carer, family member or neighbour to make a a reality of this vision”.

Range of services depending on eligibility
Individuals will be however be given information and assistance to help them select the right support or may be offered services from other agencies.
Local Authority is the lead agency for the strategic partnership. The safeguarding Board is chaired by an independent chair. There is a well established service user forum which receives reports of the work of the Board and is able to contribute ideas and challenge. We would be very happy to provide training on safeguarding to the Link. The Board is also wishing to establish a relationship with the Link/Healthwatch and to see what contribution can be made in helping to improve quality of services and ensure that our safeguarding service is effective. We have had approximately 500\\ referrals for safeguarding 2010/11.
Once people qualify for a social care service we work with them to provide a short-term package of support which we call ‘Enablement’. Is short term six weeks.
Currently 55% of people who go through our home care enablement service do not require ongoing support at the end of their enablement package. Move on Plan PB
The Personal Budget Questionnaire and Support Plan includes multiple-choice questions. A social care professional will discuss your answers with you and possibly with others that know you well. This will help Adult Social Services to make sure that we are realistic about what your social care budget could be. Aim to get everyone on PB currently around 2000 people
