Fulfilled Lives - Shaping our Adult Social Care Strategy
This consultation has now closed
We are preparing our draft Adult Social Care Strategy 2025-28 'Supporting People to Live a Fulfilled Life'. This sets out our direction over the next four years, where we will continuously develop the services we provide.
Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council’s Adult Social Care service support vulnerable young people and adults, people with disabilities, their carers, and a growing number of older people across our communities.
We would really appreciate your opinions and feedback on our proposed vision, areas of focus and ambitions, so please take the time to give your views.
We have been working with Social Care Future to develop our vision for adult social care and we want to support people to achieve a fulfilled life, in the way that they choose and, in a place where they feel safe.
Our areas for focus have been widely influenced by national adult social care changes. Evidence from our quality improvement work has highlighted the areas where we need to do things differently. We have also engaged with residents, stakeholders and our staff to understand their views.
To achieve our ambitions, we will work in collaboration with partner organisations including health, housing, the voluntary and community sector and our independent care providers, as well as people and carers who currently use services, their families and communities.
