Enhancing voice, choice and control

At the heart of good adult social care is the fundamental belief that every individual should have a voice, and choice and control over their life and their care.

Therefore, enhancing voice, choice and control means enabling people to be actively involved in shaping and managing their care, ensuring it is built around the individual, rather than the system. By prioritising dignity, autonomy and meaningful participation we create a more person-centred approach that takes account of people’s unique wants, needs and circumstances.
