Adult Social Care's plans and goals

Priority areas

There are three priority areas that Adult Social Care and Public Health will focus on to achieve our goal. These are:

• Prevention. Preventing or reducing demand for formal social care services; helping people to remain fit and well or to maintain their current abilities for longer by making informed choices
• Independent living at home. Supporting people with emerging care needs to live independently in their own homes for as long as they can
• Accommodation. Maintaining the independence of people with the greatest needs

Delivering our plans and goals

The delivery of our plans and goals in 2023 to 2024 was made possible through the involvement of our residents and partners.

Listening and learning from diverse voices across Hampshire

We actively seek to involve local people and our partners to help shape social care services and inform decision-making. We call this co-production.

There are a range of active forums where people with first-hand experience of social care services can get involved, including a newly created older peoples forum. If you would like to find more about any of the forums that we work with, visit our co-production website where you can also find out about how to get involved.

Hampshire Perspectives

Our service user feedback form means people who use our services can easily tell us what worked well and what didn’t after engaging with us.

We’re growing our Community Researchers programme and the Hampshire Perspectives residents forum. To ensure every voice in our diverse community is heard, sign up to Hampshire Perspectives and share your perspective.

Working and engaging with our partners

The County Council has continued to work effectively with key partners in the public, private and voluntary sector to drive better health outcomes for all our residents.

Supporting the delivery of our strategy is a team effort

In Hampshire, our dedicated staff play a crucial role in delivering high-quality adult social care. Drawn from all walks of life social workers to care assistants, administrators to public health experts each team member brings their unique skills and compassion to support our community. Through their collaboration, our adult social care and public health strategies come to life, making a positive impact on lives every day.

Impact Adult Care Training

The challenges in recruiting social care staff are well known and are not new, we are proud of and committed to training, developing and growing our staff by providing high-quality effective training.

This commitment continues with providers from the independent sector who can access specialised training resources via the County Council’s Impact Adult Care Training.
