Purpose

Wigan Council and NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board (Wigan Locality) are committed to enabling people to live fulfilled and valued lives in their own homes and communities. Central to this ambition is the delivery of high quality, ethical, asset based support by a skilled, caring and compassionate workforce.

The Community Living Ethical Framework has been developed to establish strong, values based partnerships with high quality providers who share this commitment. The Framework will be the Council’s primary mechanism for commissioning with confidence ethical providers who deliver strengths based, community focused support, while recognising and valuing the essential contribution of their workforce.

The Framework seeks to support a transformed model of care and support that focuses on people’s strengths, networks and aspirations, enabling them to live independently and remain connected within their local communities.
