| Annotation | Social care transformation is not limited to personal budgets or even to public services targeted at people eligible for state support. It is also about how people help themselves and each other as individuals, in groups and communities and how they make best use of the resources available for all citizens in their area. Alongside 'A vision for adult social care: capable communities and active citizens' and the renewed partnership agreement between government and the social care sector, 'Think local, act personal', this briefing and its appendix sets out why building strong and resilient communities is a key component of social care transformation. It outlines approaches currently being developed by councils with their public sector and community partners, particularly those who have been part of the Building Community Capacity to Put People First project. It puts the project's work in the context of the personalisation agenda and shares some of the learning to date. More is available at the project website (www.puttingpeoplefirst.org.uk/BCC). hosted by the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE). (RH) |
