Adult social care annual reports and strategies

Three year plan for adult social care

We have produced a three year plan for 2023 which aims to be open and balanced. The three year plan:

• describes what we have done to meet people’s needs
• explains the ongoing challenges for adult social care
• outlines our priorities for the next three years

Each year our annual report will show how we are doing against each of these priorities.

Annual reports

We produce a report each year. It details Hackney’s adult social care services and how they help adults with care and support needs in the borough.

In previous years, we called this report the local account. Following feedback from people who use our services, we have changed the name so it is more meaningful for people who are reading the document.

The annual report tells people:

• how much we spent on adult social care
• what and who we spent the money on
• our future plans
• what service users and carers tell us about our services
• how our services help people stay healthy and well and avoid the need for more intensive support from adult social care services
• what people who use services have told us about this document

See Hackney adult social care annual report – 2023 to 2024 (google doc).

We have talked to people who use our services to get their views about the annual report, such as what should be included and to share ideas to make it clearer and a more interesting read.

It’s key that people who use our services and residents of Hackney have the opportunity to shape this document and we would like to thank all of those involved in shaping this year’s edition.

Adult social care workforce development strategy 2024 to 2027

Our vision for adult social care in Hackney is: ‘We want you to achieve what matters to you, in partnership with our communities in Hackney. Where you need support, together we can find a solution that keeps you safe, well, and independent.’

To deliver this vision, we need a highly skilled, supported and diverse workforce. We want excellent social care practice to flourish, so that our residents and carers achieve the outcomes that matter for them. This means creating a working environment that prioritises staff development, continuous improvement and career progression whilst building on our commitment to having a trauma-informed, strengths-based and anti-racist workforce.

We have produced an adult social care workforce development strategy (2024 to 2027) to outline how we will attract, support, develop and retain excellent people to work in adult social care in Hackney. The strategy includes:

• an introduction to the workforce and adult social care needs in Hackney
• our 5 main priorities for the workforce
• what we will do between 2024 and 2027 to deliver each of these priorities
• how we intend to measure impact
