Adult Social Care Improvement Plan To consider a report by County Councillor Stephen Hayes, Portfolio Holder for Adult Services. Additional documents:
Minutes: Cabinet received and considered the Adult Social Care Improvement Plan. The Portfolio Holder for Adult Social Care explained that the plan had been drawn up in advance of the CIW inspection and that CIW required the plan to be reviewed and revised within 20 days of publication of the inspection report and to be submitted to them by 30 May. The plan focussed on improving outcomes for residents and would require corporate ownership and other services to work with Adult Social Care in order to ensure effective improvement. The plan would also be considered regularly by the Improvement and Assurance Board.
The Portfolio Holder advised that the report was draft and subject to further work including by Scrutiny on 29 May. He therefore asked for delegated authority to be given to the Leader in consultation with him, the Acting Chief Executive and the Director of Social Services to submit the final improvement plan.

However, there was a need for this to be mainstreamed to ensure a consistent, whole organisation approach to promoting children’s rights and embed the participation of childen and young people into all aspects of planning, delivering and reviewing of services and policies. The recommendation was to formally adopt the United National Convention on the Rights of the Child and formally sign the National Participation Standards Charter in accordance with the key actions set out in the Children’s Services Improvement Plan.
