Adult social care
Rights, strengths and accountable support
Adult social care should support people to live with dignity, choice and as much independence as possible while responding proportionately to risk, safeguarding and changing need.
How Ardenvia may contribute
Relevant work may include care and support development, transition from children’s services, support around hospital discharge or admission prevention, psychologically informed practice, governance review, safeguarding improvement, workforce development and service redesign.
A whole-person view
We consider the person’s goals, communication, relationships, culture, health, environment, strengths and support network. We also consider whether organisational arrangements help staff provide consistent support. Individual plans and service systems should reinforce rather than contradict one another.
Practice principles
- Promote involvement and accessible decision-making.
- Recognise capacity and consent as decision-specific and context-sensitive matters.
- Use the least restrictive and most proportionate response available.
- Coordinate across social care, health, housing and community support.
- Review transitions, contingency arrangements and changing risk.
- Keep recording, oversight and escalation clear.
