The Care Act: Information and Advice

Information and advice is fundamental to enabling people to take control of, and make well-informed choices about, their own care and support and how they fund it. This creates a clear link between good information and advice and the underpinning of the ‘Wellbeing’ principle of the Act. It is also a vital component of preventing or delaying people’s need for care and support.
