This document provides a summary of forthcoming developments for the Adult Services Department and how you can get involved
in shaping services, strategies and programmes.
We aim to involve service users, interest groups, existing and potential service providers and other organisations at the earliest
possible point when reshaping services. We are, however, open to ideas and comments at any point as part of our commitment to
continual improvement.
This information will be regularly updated to ensure it sets out our programme for at least the next 12 months. It does not therefore
represent a reference of all policies, services, projects or potential business opportunities within the Department.
There is a named manager and contact details for each item on the schedule. If you cannot find anything you would expect to see
or have any feedback on the way this information is presented, then we will be pleased to hear from you. Please contact Kate
Jones on 01962 845195 / kate.jones@hants.gov.uk.
