Markets and Sustainable Commissioning in Adult Social Care

About this event

In 2023, the National Risk Register included for the first time major adult social care provider failure as a risk that would have a substantial impact on the UK’s critical systems at a national level. This inclusion highlighted the precarity of adult social care markets and the seriousness of the situation. It is essential that local authorities follow their duty under the Care Act to promote diversity and quality in the provision of services. In this webinar, delegates will learn about local authority duties in relation to adult social care markets under the Care Act. Challenges facing the market will be explored, and we will hear from adult social care strategic leaders in how they are overcoming market challenges in their areas. Delegates will have the opportunity to network with other attendees, pose questions, and participate in group exercises.
