Public discussion report: Ideas to support Croydon's Adult Social Care Strategy

News - 11 February 2026

Last year we invited people living and working in Croydon to join us at our public discussion event as part of our Annual Meeting, to share their experiences of and ideas on Adult Social Care in Croydon.

We used these insights to create our public discussion report 'Ideas to support Croydon's Adult Social Care Strategy'.

Following this public discussion, we shared our report insights with Croydon Council to help them shape their Adult Social Care Strategy that was launched today.

"Co-design was integral to the development of our Adult Social Care and Health Strategy (2026 – 30), and we thank Healthwatch Croydon for facilitating a workshop which supported us to hear from a wide range of our residents. 

We would welcome ongoing collaboration in the scrutiny of the delivery of the strategy, ensuring residents can clearly see its impact and shape its future."

Annette McPartland,  Corporate Director, Adult Social Care and Health, Croydon Council.
