Role Clarity
Brent Council is restructuring its Adult Social Care management to address role clarity and improve services.
Brent Council's General Purposes Committee approved a senior management restructure within Adult Social Care in April 2026. This decision aims to address significant role clarity issues and improve the customer journey, reducing the number of senior managers from five to two. The changes were expected to be implemented by April 1st, 2026, following concerns raised by Councillor Harbi Farah.
The restructure was designed to enhance services by eliminating overlapping portfolios and confusion among senior staff, according to a report author. This action was taken in response to the department's "required improvement" rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
