Agenda Item 20
6. Matters for Consideration
6.1 At present the Council does not have a Vulnerable Persons Strategy and
therefore has no formalised strategic direction.
6.2 Blaby District Council is committed to assisting vulnerable people in
sustaining independent living. We will throughout our business processes
ensure that vulnerable and potentially vulnerable people are identified at an
early stage and receive the appropriate advice and support either through
direct service provision or through partnerships with key stakeholders such as
Leicestershire County Council, Police and voluntary sector.
