April 1st 2025 marks the 10 year anniversary of The Care Act 2014! This piece of legislation was introduced to transform the way Adult Social Care was delivered and introduced the Safeguarding Adults Board as a mandatory body for all Local Authorities in England. It ensured all local authorities promoted the safeguarding of adults at risk, provided fair person-centered care, and strengthened protection. Over the years it has given adults with care and support needs more control over their care, enabling them to have choice and control. This anniversary will be a chance to reflect on how far we have come, and what still needs to be done to ensure everyone gets the care they deserve.
