The Care Act Sample Clauses

The Care Act. The Care Act introduced a general duty on local authorities to promote an individual’s ‘wellbeing’. This means that they should always have a person’s wellbeing in mind when making decisions about them or planning services. If the impact on an individual’s wellbeing is significant then the eligibility criteria are likely to be met. Wellbeing can relate to:  Personal dignity (including treatment of the individual with respect);  Physical and mental health and emotional wellbeing;  Protection from abuse and neglect;  Control by the individual over day-to-day life (including over care and support);  Participation in work, education, training or recreation;  Social and economic wellbeing;  Domestic, family and personal relationships;  Suitability of living accommodation; and  The individual's contribution to society. The core purpose of adult care and support is to help people to achieve the outcomes that matter to them in their life. It must focus on the needs and goals of the person concerned. Local authorities must promote wellbeing when carrying out any of their care and support functions in respect of a person. This may sometimes be referred to as ‘the wellbeing principle’ because it is a guiding principle that puts wellbeing at the heart of care and support. The wellbeing principle applies in all cases where a local authority is carrying out a care and support function, or making a decision, in relation to a person. It applies equally to adults with care and support needs and their carers.
