Consideration was given to Think Local Act Personal - A National Strategy for Local Implementation.
Putting People First was issued in November 2007 and articulated the shared ambition to put people first, through a radical reform of public services, enabling people to live their own lives as they wished, confident that services were of high quality, were safe and promoted their own individual needs for independence, well-being and dignity.
Putting People First established the collaboration between central and local government, the sector's professional leadership, providers and the regulator. It set out the shared aims and values which guided the transformation of adult social care, and recognised that the sector had to work across agendas, with users and carers, to transform people’s experience of local support and services.
Cheshire East Council had pursued the key approaches in Putting People First and had been a leader in developing personalisation and preventative approaches to the delivery of effective social care in the community.
Twenty-four leading national organisations, including the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS), umbrella bodies that represented a large number of providers from the private, independent, voluntary and community sectors, had endorsed the document.
