two.1.4) Short description
It has been a challenge for all local authorities nationally, to complete the number of annual
reviews required and to keep pace with a programme of reviews, at a time when the volume
and acuity of need among those from within the community and at point of discharge from
hospital, has been exacerbated by COVID infection.
Kent County Council Adult Social Care has determined that it will meet this challenge to its
statutory duties, by allocating contracts to external agencies to undertake a specified
quantity of review activity on its behalf. This work is to be delivered to a standard which is
Care Act compliant, and which aligns with the Council’s ambition to support people to
maximise their independence in their own homes through an approach which builds on their
strengths and which identifies and makes best use of the offer of community support which
is available in their locality or which may be commissioned to increase such support in future
(i.e. strength based and asset based approaches and practice).
