Do you have recent experience of being supported by adult social care, or caring for someone who does? Are you passionate about making services the best they can be? Adult Social Care at East Sussex County Council would like to hear from you!

Adult Social Care is inviting people with recent lived experience of being supported by them, or caring for someone who does, to join the Citizens’ Panel.

The Citizens’ Panel is a group of residents, clients and carers who work together with the department on a huge variety of topics, offering feedback, developing ideas for improvements or changes, and co-producing services and policies.

The Council are keen to bring in new voices and want to hear from a wide range of people from different backgrounds and geographical areas who have received a range of care and support from Adult Social Care.

Panel members will contribute to four meetings a year, gain new skills and experience and make a difference to services that support thousands of people. There will be lots of support on offer and expenses and reward payments.

If you are interested in joining the panel, or if you have any questions, please contact asc.equalityteam@eastsussex.gov.uk for more information.
