(In person) Shaping Services - The Future of Adult Social Care

Have Your Say on Adult Social Care Services in Bristol

This session is for people with learning difficulties who use, or may use, adult social care services in Bristol.

Adult Social Care provides support to adults who need help to live independently.

Bristol City Council is asking people what they think about the future of some adult social care services. This is your chance to share your experiences, ideas and views to help shape what these services look like in the future. No decisions have been made yet, and the council wants to hear from the people who use services and those who may need them in the future.

We will talk about these services:

• Bristol Community Links

• Shared Lives

• Reablement

• Bristol Community Meals

• Redfield Lodge Residential Care Home

We want to hear:

• What is working well

• What could be better

• What support is important to you

• What you would like these services to provide in the future

• Who you think should run these services

• How services can help people live good, independent lives

This is an informal session where you can share your thoughts, ideas and experiences with others. You will also be able to access support with filling in a consultation if that is wanted.

Your feedback will help Bristol City Council understand what matters most to people when making decisions about the future of adult social care services.
