The Home Adaptations and Assistance Policy

 

 

This report is seeking Cabinet approval of the revisions of the policy document “Home Adaptations and Assistance Policy”.

This meets the legal requirements for the council to have such a policy, clearly sets out its mandatory duties in this area and maximises the ability to use relevant powers under legislation to support the county’s residents to remain living safely and independently in their own homes. The revisions update the policy in line with current government guidance and good practice.
