North West England

The North West Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (NW ADASS) is the regional branch of the national Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) for the North West of England. We are a membership organisation of the 23 Directors of Adult Social Services (DASS) in the North West working collaboratively with our partners, to deliver and improve adult social care services for our communities.

We have a vision for people in the North West where ‘every day is the best it can be’.

To achieve our vision, we have identified three priority objectives for 2030. These themes are derived from what we know are important from our analysis and discussions and identified as the essential elements to achieving our vision
