Notts County Council reveal adult social care policy until 2028
Nottinghamshire County Council has published its Adult Social Care Plan for 2026-28.
The Plan explains what matters most to people in Nottinghamshire about their experience of using social care, what has been achieved so far, and what the focus will be for the next two years.
Those questioned said that what matters to them is getting the basics right and getting help at the right time,.
Clear information about support and services, less time spent waiting for assessments, better communication with staff, and support that feels joined up were also key findings.
Councillor Barry’s Answer, Nottinghamshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care, helped to set out the council’s commitment for the next two years
“Adult Social Care matters because people matter. It is about supporting people to live the life they want to lead with dignity, independence, purpose and connection,” he said.
“This Adult Social Care Plan sets out our commitment to the people of Nottinghamshire: to be open about how we are performing, honest about where we need to improve, and ambitious about the future of adult social care.
“We have a lot to be proud of: dedicated staff, strong partnerships, strong communities and examples of care and support making a positive difference to people’s lives. But we also know there is more to do. People rightly expect support that is timely, personal to them and responsive, and this Plan shows how we are working to meet that expectation.
“Our ambition is to support a stronger, fairer Nottinghamshire where people can thrive within their communities, where support builds on strengths, and where we continue improving and provide the support and services that people expect.”
The findings also revealed that carers wanted to be recognised, listened to, and supported in their own right. People also said they want to stay connected to their family, friends and community, to have more choice and control about decisions which concern them, and be supported by workers who know them, listen properly and treat them as a person.
