  • Social Services Department Newport Adult Services
    Newport Adult Services: Market Position Statement SOCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT NEWPORT ADULT SERVICES MARKET POSITION STATEMENT 2014 – 2019 1 Newport Adult Services: Market Position Statement 1. INTRODUCTION This document is aimed at existing and potential providers of adult social care. It represents rt of a dialogue between the Council, people who use services, carers, providers and others, about the vision for the future of local social care markets. We are committed to stimulating a diverse, active market where innovation and energy is encouraged and rewarded and where poor practice is actively discouraged. This is an important role for the Council, and a key part of shaping what kind of place Newport is, namely a place where people with care and support needs, their families and carers, are included and involved in community, economic and social life. This Market Position Statement (MPS) is designed to be a document containing intelligence, information and analysis of benefit to existing and potential providers of adult social care and support in Newport. It aims to describe current and potential future demand and supply; the funding that we will have available as commissioners; potential demand from people funding their own services; and begins to describe how we would like to work with the social care market going forward. Providers of adult social care can learn about the council’s intentions as a purchaser of services, and our vision for how services might respond to the personalisation / citizen direction of adult social care and support. Voluntary and community organisations can learn about future opportunities and what would enable you to build on your knowledge of local needs in order to develop new activities and services.
