Our social care strategies
We have a number of strategies and policies that form how we deliver social care.
We also recognise the role unpaid carers have in social care. Without their contribution, the services that we all rely on would be overwhelmed.
Improving Lives Every Day
Trafford Council’s Adult Social Care Strategy 2025 – 2027
This strategy is the starting point for improving adult social care services in Trafford.
We are committed to working with people who use services and their carers to turn our vision into practical action and to build the Trafford approach to co-production with our residents.
This approach is based on key principles including:
- Being open and transparent in our communications and engagement and using clear language and information that is accessible for our different communities
- Listening to individuals, families and communities of Trafford – having honest and transparent conversations
- Using lived experience to plan, design, deliver and improve services
- Listening, acting, learning, empowering, sharing and doing it together
Trafford carers, family and friends strategy
The strategy recognises the role that carers have in providing unpaid care and support. This can be to their:
- family
- friends
- loved ones
Unpaid carers’ provide:
- an enormous amount of support to our wider health and wellbeing services
- reduce the need for paid support
- help to avoid unnecessary hospital admissions
- enable safe discharge back home
Without the contribution of unpaid carers’, the services that we all rely on would be overwhelmed. The strategy details our commitment to supporting carers of all ages.
Our plan for health and social care
Our Locality Plan sets out the aspirations and commitments from across the health and care system.
We have a Trafford Integrated Care Partnership and will work together to improve the health of people in Trafford.
