It builds on Local Authority Circular (DH)(2008)1 and sets out, and reinforces the details of how the ring-fenced Social Care Reform Grant should continue to be used to help councils to redesign and reshape their systems over the remaining 2 years of the Grant. It also updates the information and support available to councils to drive the transformation of adult social care.

Transforming adult social care: access to information, advice and advocacy (March 2009)
The Transforming Adult Social Care Programme Board, the Association of Directors of Adults Social Services (ADASS), the Local Government Association (LGA), the Improvement and Development Agency (IDeA) and Counsel and Care commissioned research on information, advice and advocacy (IAA) for adult services and the delivery of Putting People First (2007).

This review aims to appraise the activity and research evidence in adult social care. It also examines whether there are any models of service provision which are considered good practice. The review draws together evidence from a range of sources including primary and secondary research.
