In addition to these core materials, the portal also provides a wide range of resources on areas such as mental capacity, occupational therapy, our financial pathway, direct payments, professional development and much more - designed to support your day-to-day practice and continued professional growth.

Adult Services and Wellbeing is guided by a clear vision for adult social care:
People are supported to live their largest life. We will always be kind and compassionate, creative and bold in helping people achieve their hopes and dreams. People are at the heart of all we do and they will feel valued and have an equal voice in their care and support. We will always respect people’s strengths and support them to be connected to their communities.

The Policy Portal plays an important role in helping us turn this vision into everyday practice - making sure staff have the tools, information, and guidance they need to deliver consistent, high-quality, person-centred care and support.

There are also a number of resources within the portal that can be shared directly with Calderdale residents, helping them access clear information relevant to their care and support and wellbeing.

I encourage you to explore the Policy Portal and make full use of the guidance, tools, and resources available to aid you in your practice and the people you support.

With best wishes
