Welcome to Yorkshire and Humber ADASS
leaders in social care
The Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) in Yorkshire and Humber works to promote higher standards of social care services, influence policy & decision-makers and transform the lives of people needing & providing care.
We do this so that anyone needing care & support can live the lives they want regardless of age, disability, status and social background.
“The Association of Directors of Adult Social Services in Yorkshire and Humber works for the benefit of individuals, families and communities. Our work with partners is to plan, provide and develop innovative, sustainable and effective social care services for people who need it now and will in the years to come. Our priorities are on improving consistency and quality so that no matter where someone lives in the region, they can access the information, advice and care support that is needed. We work with people across the sector, by providing forums for professional networks that where we can jointly identify, promote, and undertake development and improvement work.”
