The purpose of a care review is to formally re-evaluate the adults assessed needs, identified risks and support plan.

A review will establish whether the support plan is meeting the adult’s needs and personal outcomes, if there are any unmet needs or outcomes and whether the current outcomes are still appropriate.

A review will enable the allocated social worker or social care practitioner to:

• identify a change in the adult needs or circumstance that may then trigger a reassessment.
• establish whether the adult has continued eligibility for care and support
• establish whether changes need to be made to a personal budget
• trigger, identify or raise potential safeguarding or mental capacity concerns
• evaluate quality of care being provided which may need to be reported to the Quality Assurance or Commissioning team.
