Governance arrangements for Adult Social Care strategy groups
The current governance model was agreed in January 2024 by the Adult Social Care Divisional Leadership team (DLT) to ensure clear, tight arrangements are in place to oversee the progress of the partnership groups established to oversee the adult social care strategies for Slough.
Each of the strategies has been approved by Cabinet and aligned to the Council’s Corporate Five Year Plan as well as national policy and legislative drivers. The strategies were all developed through extensive local engagement with residents, including people with lived experience. This includes the Coproduction network, community and voluntary groups and other statutory stakeholders.
There is a requirement that the strategy groups provide twice yearly progress updates to Adult Social Care DLT, the Coproduction Network and Cabinet.
The strategy groups are coordinated by a lead Commissioner within the People, strategy and commissioning team and are co-chaired by people with lived experiences. Each of the groups has clear terms of reference and has established task and finish groups supporting particular actions within the strategies.
Currently the strategy groups that are in place are as follows:
- Autism Steering Group
- Carers Steering Group
- Learning Disabilites Steering Group
- Mental Health Steering Group
- Older Peoples Steering Group.
A record of the meetings for the various steering groups as well as the Coproduction network can be accessed on the Slough Borough Council website. For more information about these groups, please contact beinvolved@slough.gov.uk
