Help us meet the challenge of supporting residents to live independently and well
To help the Council meet one of its most important and significant challenges, residents are invited to help refine and shape a new strategy that will guide the way Adult Social Care is delivered in York, while meeting the Council’s duties and ambitions.
The Council’s ambition is to support people to live happier, healthier, longer and more independent lives, while reducing inequalities. It aims to achieve this by working with partners to provide support at home that is accessible, affordable, safe, high quality, and which promotes fairness and independence.
Residents receiving care and support, their families, carers and professionals working in the sector are encouraged to take part in shaping the strategy to meet these aims, to help ensure the new strategy is meaningful and effective for residents.
Please take part if you:
- receive care or support
- are a resident of York
- work for or with organisations that deliver care and support
- belong to a charity, voluntary or community sector organisation
- are a carer, friend, neighbour or family member of an adult who receives social care in York.
You can choose the way that’s best for you to take part:
