| Who can get involved? | We want hear from people who use, or are likely to use, Adult Social Care services often called in-house services. These are services aimed mainly at adults with learning disabilities, though the Shared Lives and Supported Lodgings schemes are offered to those with mental health needs, older people, those with physical disabilities and young people leaving care. |

| Reason for consultation |
The aim of new options is a new proposal for changes to the way in which we provide services for disabled adults, specifically those with a learning disability. As part of our plan for the future we have been looking at the services we directly provide which are: - Residential homes at Carwood and Downing House - Day opportunity services - Inclusive Education at Unit 11 - Horsehay - Inclusive Training at TEN Horsehay - Inclusive Leisure at Halesfield 22 and the Severns - Special Support at Lakeside, Stirchley - Community Support - Shared Lives and Supported Lodgings |
| Overview |
This review is part of a larger Transformation plan which will make changes to the Councils' Adult Care and Support services, at a time when the council faces significant financial pressure. The council wants to offer services which are more personalised and will be introducing personal budgets for all people who are receiving services from us. This will give people greater choice, control and responsibility for the support and services they receive. |
| How to get involved? |
You can get involved by providing your views through the online survey, e-mailing comments, sending a completed response form. There will be also be consultation meetings with specific stakeholder groups. |

| What happens next? | Your views are important to us and we want to make sure as many people as possible are involved and tell us what they think about our proposal. We will be finalising the new model by January 2014 and starting to change the services from April 2014. |
