This procedure aims to agree a best practice model for the transfer of adult social care cases between authorities under Ordinary Residence. It is intended to be applied in situations where an adult who has previously been supported by one local authority area relocates to another area becomes Ordinarily Resident in a different area, resulting in the transfer of responsibility for care management and financing of their social care needs to the new area.
