Can you help us develop our draft strategy for adult social care in Kent?

Following on from our early discussion workshops at the beginning of the year with members of the public, we’d like to carry on the conversation and ask what’s important to people we support, families, carers and our partners in adult social care.

How will my views be taken forward?

These are co-production workshops, and your thoughts will contribute to the initial development of a draft five year strategy for adult social care.

Is this a public consultation?

No, not yet. We want to get people involved as early as possible. This work is at its development stage, so that our stakeholders have the opportunity to test and shape our thinking. There will be a consultation later this year.

Who should attend?

We’d like to hear from people from all backgrounds in Kent aged 18 and over. Workshops are also open to members of community groups.

Join one of our online Zoom workshops in August*

• 2pm – 4pm Wednesday 11 August
• 10am – 12 midday Thursday 12 August
• 10am – 12 midday Friday 13 August

(*Dates and times may change subject to demand)
