Newcastle City Council has a duty to provide care and support for its vulnerable residents who are eligible according to the national criteria introduced by the Care Act 2014.
The Council is currently considering expanding our offer of social care support for people with mental health diagnosis and eligibility under the Care Act, to help us to support people to live as independently as possible, offer greater social inclusion and help people to find their place within a community.
We are asking for feedback and opinions of people who have experience of using social care support, as well as those who may want to (or need to) use it in the future, as well as their carers, relatives and family members.
This includes people who either live on their own, with families/friends, in a housing with support setting or are currently in residential care but are hoping to move back into the community.
If you have any questions or need this survey in a different format such as large print please contact us at:
- Email: adultsgateway@newcastle.gov.uk
- Telephone: 0191 278 7878
We will publish the findings from this consultation here on Let's talk Newcastle Online, and you can find out what is happening next on our website here: Newcastle Mental Health Support
