REASON FOR DECISION
|
|
|||||||||
|
The Care Act 2014 places a duty on local authorities to ensure that people with sensory impairments are supported by professionals with relevant skills and experience. Providing this support will meet the minimum requirements under the Care Act, and ensure that people with visual, hearing or dual sensory loss are afforded the opportunity to live as independently as possible and access their community safely. This is expected to reduce the risk of social isolation and the impact this can have on other acute services.
