Our Purpose

The Unit is responsible for co-ordinating and developing Cheshire Community Services Social Care Consultation and Participation Strategy. We aim to encourage and enable people who use services and their carers, staff who manage and provide those services, and partner agencies, who work alongside the Council in the provision of social and health care, to give regular feedback on the quality, relevance, accessibility and value of services, and to participate, where possible, in service planning and development.
