The sector-wide partnership agreement launched in November Sets out our commitment to moving forward with personalisation and community-based support.

About the Partnership More than 30 national and umbrella organisations representing the broad interest in transforming adult social care across England Partners will work collectively to develop and share innovative practice so all citizens have more choice and control over the support they experience. Picks up where Putting People First left off but importantly represents a key shift from government-led to sector-led support. Will meet quarterly. Board oversees programme

Service focus --- community focus Active communities are key to keeping people connected and independent
