This consultation document seeks views on proposed actions the Welsh Government will take to prevent the abuse and neglect of older people in Wales. The Government is clear that abuse or neglect in any form against older people will not be tolerated. This includes financial scams, physical and mental abuse and neglect. Age does not diminish an individual's right to live with dignity and respect. The Action Plan sets out a series of measures which the Welsh Government will put in place across Government to ensure that older people are protected from all types of abuse, and to prevent them from being at risk of abuse. It builds upon much good work done under the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016, and the Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (Wales) Act 2015. This plan has three overarching themes: 1. Older people are supported to live independently and with dignity and are able to access relevant support from safeguarding services where they are at risk of abuse or neglect; 2. Older people experiencing domestic abuse or sexual violence are able to access relevant support from Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (VAWDASV) services when required; 3. Older people receiving care and support are protected from becoming at risk of abuse or neglect. This consultation closes on 17 October 2022. (Edited publisher abstract)

This consultation sets out 48 proposed actions to reform our adult social care system over the next ten years. The consultation will inform the development of a new strategy for adult social care. The adult social care system in Northern Ireland (NI) is under significant stress. Population demographics and projections are such that we are faced with rising demand for services as our older population increases and our working age population decreases. The proposals are arranged around six strategic priorities: 1. Sustainable System Building – to build a stable, sustainable adult social care system; 2. A Valued Workforce – staff who work in social care will be valued, competent and resilient; 3. Individual Choice and Control – to ensure the individual has control over the decisions affecting their social wellbeing and their care and support needs; 4. Prevention and Early Intervention – a renewed focus on prevention and early intervention to support people to achieve their own social wellbeing; 5. Supporting Carers – carers will be supported in their caring duties and entitled to support in their own right; 6. Primacy of Home – the purpose of adult social care, including group care services, is to support citizens to live well in their own home in connection to their families, social networks and communities, providing maximum choice and control of their daily living arrangements and their care and support provision.
