ADASS EAST has twelve local authority areas. Understanding and responding to what matters to people who need or access care and support, their families and carers is at the forefront of our improvement journey. The Directors of Social Services are committed to co-production to help create an adult social care market which enables people to have more choice and control over their support. As a region we have signed up to TLAP’s Making it Real – Think Local Act Personal I/We Statements.
We have also created a space for people who draw on care and support, carers, families, friends, providers and commissioners to come together to have a chat “Over a Brew” on a regular basis to learn about things that are going well and not so well so we can make some positive change, please see here for further details: Over a Brew virtual coffee sessions – Association of Directors of Adult Social Services Eastern Region (adasseast.org.uk)

Emerging Practice Report - Safeguarding in Adult Social Care - October 2024
We are proud of our collaborative work in the East of England and firmly believe that sharing practice examples across the region is an important part of our sector led improvement work, giving councils and partners the opportunity to learn from each other. For the first time this year, we have brought together some practice examples into a regional report to showcase different aspects of adult safeguarding work highlighting ways that organisations are working together to protect the rights of adults who have care and support needs (and because of those needs, are unable to protect themselves against abuse or neglect or the risk of it) to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect.
