Why we are proposing changes
The law says councils can ask people who use care and support services to pay towards the cost. North Tyneside Council follows these rules. We want to make sure everyone is charged fairly, based on what care they need and what they can afford.
We review our policy every year. We are planning two changes for 2026/27. These changes will help us keep supporting people in North Tyneside who can’t pay for their own care.
You can read our current charging policy on our website here. The Government’s guidance is also available here.

We are asking everyone to share their views. You can do this by completing the short survey below.
