Your voice network
Your voice does make a difference.
As part of the co-production work on our strategies, people also told us loud and clear that they wanted to be listened to and worked with when it comes to arranging and accessing support, and that they want to be treated with respect and involved in decisions about their lives or the lives of people they care for.
The council has committed to working closely with Kent residents to implement a more person-centred model of adult social care. This requires a joined-up approach, building the right conditions for true co-production in Kent, so that people’s ideas and experiences are at the heart of social care.
Whatever your reason, get in touch to help us to shape the future of social care - we’re listening.
