The Essential Guide toAdult Social Care is changing. The days of local authorities providing a set menu of ‘one-size-fits-all’ services are over. Now, it’s about identifying each person’s individual needs and empowering them to choose the support that works best for them.
But how exactly does the new model of Adult Social Care work? That’s the question The Essential Guide to Adult Social Care answers. Developed in collaboration with the Health & Social Care team at Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, our online training course gets everyone up to speed with personalisation and the new landscape of Adult Social Care… quickly and cost-effectively.
The Essential Guide to Adult Social Care is made up of four bite-sized sections:
