Our purpose is to get the greatest possible increase in independence for those adults, families, carers and communities who need help. We will do this by:

• Listening to people so that we understand their needs and the risks they face.
• Helping everybody to get the information and advice they need.
• Agreeing with people what outcomes they want to achieve
• Helping people who need, or who are likely to need, public funding to find the services which will be right for them
• Doing the things which we are required to do by law and regulations
