Care where we live - conversations about adult social care reform
The Casey Commission offers a rare opportunity for lasting adult social care reform and now is a pivotal moment to shape a future that is fair, sustainable and rooted in local communities for everyone who works in, is connected to, or has cause to draw on care and support.
Any reformed system will depend on local government leadership, capacity and legitimacy. That is why it is vital to hear views from councils, partners and the public on what role local government should play in the future, and how it can best support people to live the lives they want to lead. As the national membership body for the sector, the Local Government Association is proud to lead this conversation.


Tell us what you think.
By registering here, you can give your thoughts and views on future reform. Using our Safe Spaces platform, you can give feedback in a secure and anonymous way. Simply let us know whether you are responding as a councillor, a council officer, a care provider, a carer or someone who draws on social care services, or something else.
We look forward to sharing with you the findings from the engagement and our positions, in due course, which will be used to inform our ongoing discussions with, and input into, the Casey Commission.
How it works?
The online conversation works a bit like a social media platform; you can join around your work patterns and contribute as much or as little as you like, at a time that suits you.
The process is also:
- Anonymous – your name is not attached to anything you share
- Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week while the conversation is live
- Accessible from wherever you may be – on any computer, tablet or smartphone
- Analysed independently, so you can feel safe to share how you really feel.
