North Northamptonshire Council are reviewing how they can deliver their in-house adult social care provider services. They want to improve the services that have been inherited from Northamptonshire County Council, so people who use these services experience better outcomes in the future while also improving working conditions for staff and their ongoing development.

They have written a strategy which explains how they intend to achieve this. The strategy aims to:

• Provide short-term care rather than long-term care, with a focus on reablement, enablement and developing independence, moving away from the provision of longer-term support.
• Make their provider services modern and fit for the future.
• Improve pay and working conditions for care staff.
• Consider if their buildings used for care can be made better and review other options if they cannot deliver what they want from our current buildings.

The Council are committed to making their services better for staff and for the people who use them. They want to hear what people who use their services, family carers, their staff and other interested stakeholders have to say about the changes they are proposing in their strategy.

This consultation closes midnight, Sunday 15 January 2023.
