Foreward for the Local Account Summary 2023/24 by Jo Williams: Director of Adult and Community Services.
We’re stronger together, and this year we’ve had a committed focus on co-producing our plans. Many thanks again to all our partners in Torbay who work tirelessly to support vulnerable adults to lead the life they want to.
We’ve also updated our adult social care pages to ensure they are useful. There’s been a lot of great work on the becoming an adult programme, across children’s and adults’ teams. We have a shared focus on transition to adulthood and maximising independence and choice for young people.
As always, our priority is the best life possible for Torbay residents who draw on our care and support. I’m happy to say that we’ve been doing well in minimising waits for assessment and focussing on our strengths-based approaches.
