TLAP’s first paper on the asset-based area laid out a clear case for adopting an asset based approach to care and support. This expanded version is action oriented, with examples of where councils and other organisations are taking practical steps to shift in the direction of an asset-based area. The resource will interest people working in councils, those who run organisations that provide support, and people who draw on care and support, including organisations that represent their views and interests. It is intended as a practical glimpse of what is being made possible in some areas and organisations, rather than a detailed blue-print.
