Vision and strategic outcomes
Role of Adult Social Care, Housing and Public Health
The Council Plan describes the role of Adult Social Care, Housing and Public Health as:
Adult social care plays a vital role in enhancing the lives of our residents and the health of communities. In Rotherham we aim to enable every resident with care and support needs to live their best lives, with the people they value, close to home and with access to the right support at the right time. Through our adult social care pathway we can prevent, reduce or delay the need for more intensive or long-term support, target resources to those with complex needs, safeguard people from neglect or abuse and provide high quality services that are accessible to all
Our new Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2025-2030, provides the framework for wide-ranging action, with local partners, to enable Rotherham people to live happy, healthy, independent lives within thriving communities, regardless of their background or circumstances.
What is a Market Position Statement?
A key document which summaries supply and demand in a local authority area or sub-region, identifies future strategic priorities and signals business opportunities within the care market in that area. The document will be updated regularly.
