Many individuals currently supported by the council receive services agreed with them as a result of an assessment of need for care and support where a local authority arranges care and support to meet a person’s needs, it may charge the adult. This new framework is intended to make charging fairer and more clearly understood by everyone.
The council will require individuals to make a financial contribution subject to their ability to pay and this policy covers these circumstances.
The policy has been written according to the Care Act 2014 and subsequent issue of the Care and Support Statutory Guidance and Regulations.
