The aim of this document is to allow people both inside and outside Parliament to  give the department feedback on its policy or legislative proposals.

Common Themes County Council Network ADASS Local Government Association Adult Social Care Green Paper: LGA and CCN Publications   The County Councils Network (CCN) published its report Sustainable County Social Care: A Green Paper that Delivers a New Deal for Counties on 27th July 2018. The Local Government Association (LGA) subsequently published The lives we want to lead: The LGA green paper for adult social care and wellbeing on Tuesday 31st July. Whilst these reports were published at a similar time, there are marked differences between the two documents. The CCN publication is a positioning paper that sets out policy positions and recommendations to Government on a number of areas. The LGA paper by comparison is their version of a Green Paper and is seeking views from key stakeholders, including local authorities, providers and the public. The LGA Green Paper sets out a range of options under a number of headings based upon past reports and debates on areas such as funding. It is also important to note that senior policy officers at CCN and the LGA have worked closely during the development of both documents, sharing drafts and discussing publication dates. The CCN positioning paper and the recommendations/policy positions contained within it were informed by a survey of Leaders and Cabinet Members with Responsibility for Adult Social Care, debate at CCN Council and Conference, desktop research and past CCN policy positions. CCN member councils should take the opportunity to respond to the LGA’s Green Paper, using the CCN publication as background, to ensure that the specific issues facing county authorities are clearly articulated. We would ask that these responses are shared with CCN through michael.chard@local.gov.uk as they will provide background to CCN’s response to both the LGA and Government Green Papers.
