The Asset Based Area

A briefing paper by Shared Lives Plus CE Alex Fox which describes ten features of an ‘asset-based area’ necessary for developing strong communities and sustainable public services. It will be of interest to council, clinical commissioning group commissioners and wider public professionals. An asset-based public body does not have ‘customers’ (whose only responsibility is to pay taxes), rather it views everyone, including people with long term support needs, as citizens, with rights and responsibilities.
