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.
