Must knows adults: the Care Act 2014

Local Government Association (LGA) - 
This revised briefing document for councillors and other senior local leaders provides a number of timely key messages to ensure that councils successfully realise the aspirations of the Care Act in their local change programmes. It recaps the acts main features and duties, sets out the implications for councils, and provides a number of questions for decision-makers and scrutinisers to consider. The document has been fully updated to reflect learning from implementation of part one of the act, the postponement of the cap on care costs, and to identify key ongoing challenges to implementation.
