COVENTRY City Council is set to report on its performance across Adult Social Care to Cabinet next week.
Every year the council publishes a report, this is the first year there will be a self-assessment reflecting on the way its services have performed over the past year.
The reports are expected to be approved on October 1.
Councils must now produce a self assessment due to the Care Quality Commission (CQC) measuring how well Councils perform their adult social care duties.
Coun Linda Bigham, cabinet member for Adult Services, said: “We want to be completely open about adult social care services. In fact, the more that local people and stakeholders know, the better.
“It’s really important that people understand what we and other health agencies and care services can offer.
“We have a lot of information on our website and during the past year have been holding community events to tell people more about what residents can expect from our services.
“Both the annual report and self-assessment offer an overview that I think is really useful for everyone to read.
“We try to focus our own reporting on the views of people who use our services to get a good understanding about how our services make an impact on residents.
“Both reports cover each of the four CQC themes for inspection and the quality statements associated with these themes”
The report states: ‘The approach taken both to the Self-Assessment and Annual Report demonstrates an open approach to our successes, challenges and where we can develop further in order to improve outcomes for people with care and support needs and their unpaid carers within Coventry.’
