WNC Launches The Big Conversation

/in News/by

WNC has launched ‘The Big Conversation’ which is a consultation to ask people for their views and to share their experiences of adult social care services.

The Big Conversation is an opportunity for the council to listen to:
• people who use care and support
• family and friends who provide care
• people who work in care and support
The council wants to hear about:
• what is working well
• what could be better
• ideas for improving adult social care in the future

WNC will use what people tell them to work together to improve services and set council priorities.

In addition to an online survey there are number of open discussions taking place. The Daventry area one is being held on 2nd July at Daventry Leisure Centre between 10am to 12 noon. You can register here to attend: The Big Conversation about social care | West Northamptonshire Council
