Conversations Matter – we want to know what Social Care means to you

Closed 1 Sep 2023

Opened 28 Jun 2023

Overview

Adult social care covers a wide range of activities to enable people to live independently, stay well and safe.

Promoting Independence is the term we use to describe our vision for social care.  We want to support people to be independent, well, and able to deal with life’s challenges  and we want to talk to you about how we will do this.

You may have heard about Adult Social Care in the news, and some of the challenges it faces. Norfolk has a changing and growing population so we must plan for our services to be long-lasting and financially stable.

With your help we want to update our strategy for Social Care in Norfolk. We want to hear from you as we passionately believe that ‘Conversations Matter’.

How can you get involved?

The online questionnaire will be live between Wednesday 28th June and Friday 1st September.  We will have a range of engagement activities available over the summer and into the autumn. So, there will be lots of opportunities to be involved, you can:

  • Complete the online questionnaire or pick up a paper copy at a library
  • Attend a drop-in session in a local library
  • Be part of a focus group or one-to-one conversations
  • You can use the toolkit to organise your own workshop

Why your views matter

We want to use your feedback to shape our priorities for the next 3 to 5 years. We are really interested in hearing what you have to tell us about your experiences of Social Care in Norfolk and how you think care in Norfolk will or should look in the future.

Alternative formats: If you require any of the engagement material in an alternative format or language, please email: haveyoursay@norfolk.gov.uk. Large print, print at home, easy read versions and our disscussion guide are available at the bottom of this page, along with a British Sign Language video about Conversations Matter.
