Newcastle City Council infographic titled “What is the Adult Social Care 3 Year Plan?”. The plan explains what Adult Social Care will work on over the next three years. Four coloured panels describe: available services and support; how the adult social care budget and resources are used; key priorities for the future; and how the council will work with local people, carers, communities and partners. A “Why it Matters” section highlights that the plan sets priorities, ensures services meet local needs, promotes accountability, delivers value for money, is shaped by public feedback, is informed by communities, and focuses on what matters most to people. A final “Have your say” section invites people to learn more, find local events and complete a survey using a QR code. Newcastle City Council branding appears at the bottom.
