Purpose

This report presents Lancashire’s future Model of Care for Adult Social Care, building on the strategic direction endorsed by Cabinet in May 2026. The model has been shaped through extensive co-production and engagement with people who draw on care and support, unpaid carers, staff, providers, communities, and partners. It provides the blueprint for the future of Adult Social Care in Lancashire, setting out how care and support will be organised around people's lives, local communities, and earlier support, with the county council playing a clear anchoring role in shaping provision across Lancashire.

Cabinet is asked to endorse this model as the strategic approach for the future delivery of Adult Social Care. Detailed design and implementation planning will continue through co-production, but the direction is clear: a community-led, person-centred, and sustainable model of care that supports people to live good lives in the places they call home.

This report does not seek approval for any specific service or building changes or individual investment decisions.
