Nicola Bailey
“We cannot underestimate the
significance and power of the cultural
change within Hartlepool. This was
mainly due to both strategic and
operational leadership within and
strong external critical friends, mostly
from In Control or their associates.
The work continues on new grounds,
which includes whole life
engagement and a corporate
approach. This is no longer a simple
issue for social care, it’s a local issue
which ALL citizens in Hartlepool need
to be part of. “

Stay true to the values

the local authority to work in this way?
For Local Authority people:

I do about it?
