Presentation by the Interim Director of Adult Social Services

The Interim Director of Adult Social Services made a presentation entitled “It’s Your Life.  It’s Your Choice.  Making the Leap” which provided details of good progress being made towards addressing the service issues raised by the Care Quality Commission’s Inspection of Adult Social Services in May 2010.  It was noted that the morale of the staff was rising.

The Leader of the Council thanked the Director for the work he and colleagues in DASS were doing. Councillor Green emphasised that Cabinet was keen to do everything possible to support the Leadership in DASS and he asked the Director to make clear if he believed that further changes or additional management support might be necessary.

RESOLVED: 

That the progress made in respect of the Improvement Plan for Safeguarding and Services to Adults with a Learning Disability be noted.
