BRIEFING FOR GREEN COUNCILLORS AND MAYORS ON TRANSFORMING
ADULT SOCIAL CARE PROVISION
Green Party policy, more than any other party, is transformative for adult social care. You are committed to All Social Care, Support and Independent Living services for disabled adults being:
- Free at the point of use
- Fully publicly funded
- Subject to national standards based on Article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabled People
- Accountable to local democratic bodies, within a secure national framework of laws, guidance and funding
- Designed and delivered locally and co-productively involving Local Authorities, the NHS, disabled adults, carers and staff unions
- Underpinned by a workforce with good pay, conditions, training and career structure
- Committed to giving informal carers the rights and support they need
End Social Care Disgrace wants to help you move along that path.
Across the country, Social Care is failing disabled and older people, unpaid carers and care workers. You have a unique chance to transform services for your residents! The nation is looking for bold transformative change – this is a wonderful example.
