As part of the Social Care Transformation programme, a new Service Management Structure was established to drive through and implement the projects identified objectives, to bring about the required changes.
The transformation project focused on developing a new Wellbeing Service aimed at developing the strategies to support people to be part of their communities. The aim is to develop community services which will support the most vulnerable. This has required close working with the Third and Independent sector and as a result the service has the oversight of the grants that are used to respond to the commissioning strategy and needs assessment. The Service is also responsible for the first point of contact for adult services Single Point of Access and has operational oversight of a range of prevention services.
