Brent Council Adult Social Care will enable vulnerable people to access more diverse community-based day activities so that they can choose more independently how they work, learn and enjoy leisure and social activities
Brent Council Adult Social Care believes that people who have a social care need have the right to lead their lives like everybody else, with the same opportunities and responsibilities, and to be treated with the same dignity and respect. Brent’s Adult Social Care transformation programme is designed to make this a reality for the people of Brent. This strategy presents an overarching vision for people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, severe and enduring mental health problems and vulnerable older people.
There is a consultation about the changes and a series of meetings which you can choose to attend. Please click HERE to get more information.
