RESIDENTS across Warrington are being encouraged to take part in the Big Conversation on Care, a national initiative giving people the opportunity to help shape the future of adult social care in England.
Adult social care supports thousands of people across Warrington, helping older people, disabled people and those with long-term health conditions to live independently, safely and with dignity.
Whether through personal experience, caring for a loved one or working in the care sector, many residents will have insights that can help inform future improvements.
Led by the Independent Commission on Adult Social Care, chaired by Baroness Louise Casey, the Big Conversation on Care is gathering views from people who draw on care and support, unpaid carers, care professionals and the wider public.
The feedback collected will help inform recommendations to Government on how adult social care can be reformed to better meet the needs of current and future generations.

Cllr Tony Higgins, Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Adult Social Care, said: “Many of us will rely on care and support at some point in our lives, either for ourselves or someone close to us. That’s why it’s so important that people from all backgrounds and experiences take part in this conversation.
“Whether you use care services, support a family member, work in care or simply have views on how services should be delivered in the future, this is your chance to contribute. The experiences and ideas shared through the Big Conversation will help inform recommendations that could shape the future of adult social care for years to come, so I would encourage residents to get involved and make their voices heard.”
