| Annotation | The Adults and Communities Directorate of Birmingham City Council commissioned this discussion paper, to help inform future debate about service provision. The authors call for a new approach to adult social care. From a search of local authority websites, they found that many Councils seem to be describing what they do to the public and to potential service users in fairly traditional ways. From interviews with leading national stakeholders and local good practice examples, four main themes have emerged about the potential for a new approach to adult social care. These are: building on social capital and community resources; social care as a form of social and economic investment; a closer relationship with the NHS; and a closer relationship between the local and the national. Examples of local approaches to social capital in Sutton, Surrey, Shropshire, and Windsor and Maidenhead are described. (RH). |
