 You can take part in the below projects by signing up or logging in to our digital participation platform. We've now launched our strategy, which outlines how we plan to change and transform to deliver more effective regulation. To ensure that the delivery of this strategy is effective we want to develop how we'll implement it in partnership with you. We've set up a folder on our digital participation platform where you'll find lots of projects to get involved with. We'd like to hear your feedback through our surveys on; Now is the time to shape and influence our early thinking.  Join our latest webinar to hear how we're monitoring and prioritising inspections at the moment. You'll also be able to ask questions through the live chat. This event is aimed at providers and professionals who work in health and social care, organisations who represent them and other stakeholders. It will take place on 20 September at 15:00 and will be led by Sue Howard, Deputy Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care. We'll discuss our monitoring approach, which is a development from the transitional monitoring we did last year. The developments carry on the progress in how we monitor services in three key areas by: - improving our ability to monitor risk to help us be more targeted in our regulatory activity
- bringing information together in one place for inspection teams, presented in a way that supports inspectors with their decision making
- testing elements of how we want to work in the future, including how we provide a more up-to-date view of risk for people who use services.
You can find more information on what to expect from our monitoring approach on our website.

The Equality Human Right Commission (EHRC) have launched an inquiry into how older and disabled adults and unpaid carers can challenge local council decisions about social care and support in England and Wales. They'd like to hear from people in these groups through their survey to understand whether the existing ways to challenge local councils are accessible and effective. All decisions made by local councils about adult social care and support should comply with equality and human rights standards and with social care laws in England and Wales. There is a duty to promote wellbeing and take into account the views and wishes of the person concerned.
