Tony Pounder, Director of Adult Social Services,
Lancashire County Council
Overview
Under the Care Act 2014 local authorities have a legal obligation to assess the need for and provide social care to people whose needs make them eligible to receive it. The obligation placed on local authorities also applies to those in need of social care in prisons, so that prisoners are entitled to have access to the equivalent care provision as someone in the community.
Tony Pounder is the NW ADASS lead for Prisons. The region has held conferences and workshops in order to explore collaboration, and conducted a stocktake to understand how we have responded to the Care Act. If you would like to find out more please contact andrewnwadass@nwemployers.org.uk.
