Praise for Northumberland's social care service
People in Northumberland are getting good adult social care, according to a new national inspection.
The Commission for Social Care Inspection has given Northumberland's adult services department a two-star rating, and says it has "excellent capacity" for improvement.
The Adult Care Directorate of Northumberland Care Trust is responsible for managing social care services for older people and adults with physical or learning disabilities on behalf of Northumberland County Council.
It employs care managers, social workers and care workers to help people who need social care and health support to be as independent as possible.
The service is judged to be good in the areas of improved health and emotional well-being; improved quality of life; making a positive contribution; increased choice and control; freedom from discrimination and harassment; economic well-being and maintaining personal dignity and respect.
Daljit Lally, Northumberland's director of adult social care, said: "This rating shows that adults care services continue to improve year on year - and that's excellent news for the people of Northumberland.
"It also shows that there is no room for complacency and we will continue to strive to further improve services."
