Driving Improvement in Adult Social Care Across East Riding
East Riding of Yorkshire Council has published a series of monthly improvement board updates, highlighting the ongoing work to strengthen and develop adult social care services across the East Riding of Yorkshire.
These updates form part of a continued commitment to transparency, accountability, and service improvement—ensuring that people who rely on care and support receive the best possible outcomes.
What Are the Improvement Board Updates?
The monthly updates provide insight into how adult social care services are performing, where progress is being made, and what actions are being taken to address challenges.
They focus on key areas such as:
- Service performance and quality
- Workforce development and capacity
- Timeliness of assessments and support
- Outcomes for people receiving care
By sharing this information publicly, the council is ensuring that residents and partners can stay informed and engaged.
Why This Matters
Adult social care is under increasing pressure nationally, and local authorities are working hard to respond to growing demand and complexity.
Publishing regular updates helps to:
- Track progress against improvement plans
- Identify areas where further work is needed
- Build trust through openness and transparency
- Demonstrate accountability to residents and partners
It also ensures that improvement is not a one-off exercise, but an ongoing and responsive process.
The Role of Partners and VCSE Organisations
The VCSE sector plays a critical role in supporting adult social care—often providing early help, preventative services, and community-based support that complements statutory provision.
These updates are relevant to VCSE organisations as they:
- Highlight emerging priorities and pressures
- Identify opportunities for collaboration
- Provide insight into where community support can add value
By aligning efforts, partners can help create a more joined-up system that better meets people’s needs.
