It has brought new duties for local authorities and new rights for service users and carers; along with new opportunities for providers. This event will outline the information, advice, guidance, and advocacy requirements of the Act and examine the challenges and gaps, establishing what this means for Sandwell. Attendees will also learn about the commissioning intentions for 2015-2017. Key speakers and topics will be: Frankie Higgins (Commissioning Manager) – Information, advice and guidance ### Beverley Stevens (Commissioner) – Advocacy ### Sam Hay (Commissioning Manager) – Commissioning intentions Interactive group workshops will then be facilitated by the Adult Social Care Commissioning team.
