Directory of services for older people

Better care, higher standards consultation

Southwark housing, health and social care are reviewing and updating the Better Care, Higher Standards Charter (pdf 240kb). This sets out the standards that the three organisations strive to achieve through working together to provide appropriate services for residents of Southwark who are over 18 and who have difficulties associated with old age, long term illness or disability and for carers who support people in these circumstances.
