Care where we live – conversations about adult social care reform
The Casey Commission offers the chance to take a long-term, system-wide view of adult social care and to shape reform that is durable, fair and rooted in people’s lives.
Be a Councillor
Increasing the pool of talent from which councillors are elected is a key task for local government. We need different kinds of people willing to stand for election so that parties get a choice of quality candidates.
Back Local Climate Action
Tackling climate change is one of the biggest threats facing our communities and ranks high in peoples’ priorities. Councils have some impact on over 80 per cent of an areas’ emissions, and direct impact over a third of emissions given their central role in housing, transport and energy.
The impact of local climate action can be enormous, and councils are united in the call for devolved approaches that realise this potential.
Debate Not Hate
Anyone, regardless of their background or political affiliation, should feel safe to become a councillor and be proud to represent their community. But the increasing level of abuse and intimidation aimed at local politicians is undermining local democracy and putting councillors at risk. Our campaign works to challenge the toxicity of public debate and pushing for change.
Digital Switchover
The Government, communication providers, and councils all play a role in connecting residents and bringing communities together. Through various schemes and initiatives – some led by government, others by industry – efforts are underway to improve broadband and mobile data capabilities.
To support these initiatives, we have developed the Digital Switchover Hub to host information and materials regarding the digital switchover, mobile data sunsetting, and steps to address digital exclusion.
The future of adult social care
Everyone should be able to live the life they want to lead; to connect to the things that make them feel alive and valued. When social care is working well, it supports people to achieve this, whatever their circumstances. This is the future of adult social care we are calling for.
Step Ahead
A councils' responsibilities don't stop when a young person leaves care. Our Step Ahead campaign wants to ensure that care-experienced young people get the best start to their adult life by improving support to them directly, and improving the support provided to councils.
Make a Difference, Work for your Local Council
In 2024/2025 we developed a national recruitment campaign, co-produced with Solace and the local government sector, and funded by UK government. The campaign aims to attract new talent and highlight the benefits that a career in local government can offer.
