The support and improvement programme is a lever Ministers can use to help the adult social care sector deliver the changes they want to see. Our contracts with the LGA and ADASS are a central part of the programme. They facilitate sector-led improvement and help the Department better understand the support needs of local authorities, enabling us to target support to where it is most needed.
