Care Act 2014

The Care Act 2014 placed care and support law into a single, clear modern statute for the first time and enshrined the principle of individual wellbeing as the driving force behind it.

The Care Act ensures that people have clear information and advice to help them navigate the system, and a more diverse, high quality range of support to choose from to meet their needs.

Visit the websites linked to on the lower-right-hand side of this page to find out more about care and support in England.

Advice and information about the Care Act is also available from your local authority:

Essex County Council

Thurrock County Council

Southend Borough Council

Bedford Borough Council

Central Bedford Council

Luton Borough Council
