Health and Care

Home care services are changing in Sheffield to provide services that better suit the needs of those who receive care in their own home. The services will focus on the best way that care can be delivered for every individual. People receiving care will have more choice about how their services are delivered and to talk about the things that really matter to them. We know that people receiving care want fewer carers and instead ones who they know and trust, and more control over their care. Carers will have more flexibility and control over how they deliver their services too.

We all want to feel and be safe when we are out an about in bars, clubs, restaurants, and venues and in Sheffield we're doing all we can to make sure that this is the case. Our city is one of the safest cities in the UK, but we still need to take action to raise awareness about ways to stay safe. Sheffield’s Anti-Spiking Partnership, set up in December 2021 in response to the rise in spiking reports, is taking practical action.
