Hull City Council has published its Adult Social Care Plan for 2026-2028, setting out how the council will support adults across the city to live fulfilling lives, now and in the future.
Built around the vision of “a life, not a service”, the plan focuses on what matters most to people – experiencing love, friendship and relationships, having meaning and purpose, and living safely in a place they call home within communities where people look out for one another.
The plan outlines:
- What the council will do to support adults and carers
- How these actions will be delivered
- How progress and impact will be measured
It has been shaped by feedback from local people, carers, Partnership Boards and partner organisations, ensuring that the voices and experiences of Hull residents are at the heart of future Adult Social Care delivery.
The Adult Social Care Plan aims to ensure people have greater choice and control over their lives, while making services more transparent, accountable and effective. It also sets out how Adult Social Care teams will work together with communities and partners to promote wellbeing and deliver support in a sustainable way.
Publishing the plan helps residents understand what Adult Social Care does, how decisions are made and how the council will be held to account. It also provides clarity for staff and partners, ensuring a shared sense of purpose and a clear direction for the years ahead.
The plan also demonstrates Hull City Council’s commitment to using resources responsibly – time, funding and energy – to help people live the lives they choose, while doing the things that matter most to them.
Tracy Meyerhoff, Executive Director of Adult Social Care and Health, said: “This plan reflects what people have told us matters most to them – living a good life, feeling safe, valued and connected to their communities and neighbourhoods. By listening to residents, carers and partners, we’ve developed a clear and shared direction for Adult Social Care in Hull that puts people at the centre of everything we do.”
Councillor Linda Chambers, Portfolio Holder for Adult Social Care, said: “Our Adult Social Care Plan sets out a clear commitment to supporting people to live independent, meaningful lives, as independently as possible. This is about more than services – it’s about dignity, choice and wellbeing. By working together with residents, carers and partners, we can make Hull a place where everyone has the best possible chance to live a fulfilled life.”
