The role of culture and sport in supporting adult social care to deliver better outcomes (1st March 2010)
This publication, produced in partnership with the National Culture Forum, is designed to enable better understanding of, and engagement with, the social care sector. It is intended to help improve the lives of older and vulnerable people by engaging with the right partnerships and with strategic commissioning processes, and explaining better the contribution the sector can make.

It is also intended to introduce adult social care providers – particularly commissioners – to the opportunities and benefits of the culture and sport sector.
