Knowsley's Supporting People Strategy contains information about support, allowing the development of improved, flexible support provision which is ultimately led by local community needs and it recognises the need of diverse communities, including black and minority ethnic customers.

• information about existing services
• details of planned changes
• identification of resources and funding
• an agreed framework for monitoring and managing schemes
• details of how services that work across authority boundaries will be managed

Supporting people shadow strategy

The Supporting People team have also produced a ' Supporting People Shadow Strategy'. This document sets out the current position within Knowsley and covers many services people need to be able to stay safely at home in the borough. These include:

• warden services for older people in sheltered housing
• hostels for families and people who find themselves homeless
• young people living on their own for the first time
• those who need more specialist services because of health or special needs

The Shadow Strategy has been approved by all of our partners in the Supporting People Programme. However, we would welcome views from anyone with an interest in this strategy and particularly from people who themselves may be in need of some help to live independently - or who knows someone who does. If you would like to comment, please read the supporting people shadow strategy and use the contact details below to send your comments.
