Care act factsheets

Fact sheets to help you understand adult social care, the support available and what to expect.

These fact sheets provide information about adult social care in Staffordshire and can help you understand the support that may be available to you.

They cover different parts of adult social care, including assessments, paying for care, support for carers, safeguarding, advocacy and making decisions about care and support.

The fact sheets explain what you can expect, what may happen next and where you can go for further information or support.

Some of the fact sheets are also available in an Easy Read format to make the information easier to understand.

Choose a fact sheet below to find out more about the topic you are interested in.

Why I prefer this version: it gives the page a proper purpose, explains what people will actually get from the fact sheets, and importantly gives you a natural place to acknowledge the Easy Read versions without making them feel like a separate resource.

I’d be happy with this going onto the public ASC site as the landing-page introduction.
