This toolkit aims to help Local Authorities create a digital tool that drives efficiencies in adult social care.
Each section contains practical advice, guidance and tips to support implementation of the Family Context tool.
The information in this toolkit is based on the learnings of a 2023/24 project across two London boroughs.
This project focuses on improving professional linkage in adult social care and delivering a person-centred care model.
