Overview

** We’ve listened to your feedback and recognise that these proposals are complicated. In response, we have provided more details and extended the consultation until 27 October 2024. **

The Council provides social care services to more than 2,000 adults of all ages with learning disabilities, physical disabilities or illnesses and mental illnesses in Sutton. This helps people to be safe, independent and live the lives that they want to.

Social care is not free at the point of delivery and a financial assessment is carried out to see what someone can afford to pay towards the costs of their care. Financial assessments are where we identify all the benefits a person can receive and work out how much they can pay for their care.

Like councils all over the country, Sutton Council has to try to save money as more people need our social care services while the cost of providing this care has increased. 
 
One way we can save money is by making some changes to our adult social care Charging Policy. Our adult social care Charging Policy is about how we decide what people are able to pay for social care and the different costs of care. 

We have identified some changes that could be made to the Charging Policy and would like to hear your views.
