Welcome to The North West Association of Directors of Adult Social Services which brings together the region’s 23 Directors
The North West Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (NW ADASS) is the regional branch of the national Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) for the North West of England. We are a membership organisation of the 23 Directors of Adult Social Services (DASS) in the North West working collaboratively with our partners, to deliver and improve adult social care services for our communities.
Our Vision
We have a vision for people in the North West where every day is the best it can be.
Where people live happy, healthy lives; able to live in their community with the support of family and friends and making best use of the things available to them in their neighbourhood.
When more help is needed it starts with a conversation about what makes a great day for them, and builds upon the things in their life which enable them to live happily at home, and is met in ways to suit them by brilliant
caring people.
What we do to achieve our vision will be done collaboratively with people who have care and support needs, their families and carers, communities and providers.
Help us to shape the future. If you would like to be part of the work we are doing, or if you would like more information, please email nwadass@wigan.gov.uk .
Please take a look at our short film and read our vision document for more information.
