Our intentions and priorities
Our intentions are based on what people who receive care and support have told us is important to them. They include:
- We ensure we understand the care market and ensure it is sustainable
- We make sure any new contracts are good value for money
- We invest in ways to prevent, reduce or delay care and support needs
- We support people to live independently
- We listen to the views of people with lived experience and their carers to inform our approach

Our strategic priorities are agreed each financial year, at the same time we complete a directorate action plan. This plan is linked to our strategy which outlines the vision for adult social care, and is based around five priorities:
- Prevent or reduce the need for long-term care, to maximise independence.
- Providing the right support. in the right place, at the right time.
- Ensuring safety from abuse or neglect.
- A sustainable and skilled workforce.
- Creating resilient, caring and inclusive communities.
