Adults social care and all age commissioning

“During the assessment of Stoke-on-Trent City Council, we saw a local authority committed to promoting people’s independence to give them the best possible outcome. They used learnings to improve services, supported by effective management and close work with partner organisations. Staff demonstrated passion for improving people’s lives, while leaders focused on making the authority a great place to live and work for all residents”: James Bullion, CQC’s chief inspector of adult social care and integrated care.
