As part of the national ‘Big Conversation on Care’, Brighton & Hove is hosting its own local discussion to gather insights on adult social care. This follows the initial phase of the national consultation held in the summer, which focused on people's views and experiences of adult social care across the country. A subsequent phase, expected later this year, will address the funding and delivery of these services.
In parallel, the council is seeking public input to help shape its formal response to the Casey Commission on Adult Social Care. The aim is to ensure that Brighton & Hove's unique challenges and priorities influence the national approach to adult social care.
“"Adult Social Care affects so many of us. It supports people with long-term health conditions, disabled people and older people, helping them to live safe and independent lives. There is finally national recognition that adult social care is not working as it could be, and change is needed to ensure that those who need support in the future can get it. We want to make sure the voice of Brighton & Hove is reflected in the national conversation, so we’re very keen for as many people as possible to have their say."
The online survey is open until Monday 20 December. In addition to the online consultation, sessions will be organised for partners and carers within the city. The final report from the national commission is scheduled for publication in summer 2027.
