Care users’ voices shape updated adult social care standards
The voices of islanders who rely on care services – and those of their families and providers – have played a central role in shaping Jersey’s newly updated adult social care standards. The Jersey Care Commission, the island’s independent healthcare regulator, published the revised standards following a full public consultation carried out last year. The review marks the first major update since the standards were originally introduced in 2019 and is intended to ensure regulation keeps pace with changing expectations, legislation and real-life experience.
