A new president, vice-president and honorary secretary have been voted in by the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS).
Birmingham director of adult social services, Peter Hay, takes the top job; with Sarah Pickup, from Hertfordshire CC, as vice-president; and Richard Webb, director of communities at Sheffield City Council, taking the honorary secretary role.
Mr Hay said: ‘Our challenge is to create a new offer – with a focus on prevention, universal information and enabling people to resume life at home.’
