Our strengths lie in our ability to apply our extensive knowledge and experience to support improved outcomes in both strategic and frontline provision.
The challenges of reduced resources and increasing demand is being felt by all who support vulnerable people. The requirement to identify needs early, predict and protect the most vulnerable as well as enabling people whatever their age to remain at home where possible are key drivers.
This requires organisations to work effectively together, with a clear focus on outcomes, be it as commissioners or providers of services.
Within Children's Services the Munro Recommendations, changes in the inspection frameworks, the 'working together' and the Health and Social Care Bill set out the challenges for local authorities and their partners, in supporting and protecting children, ensuring needs are identified early and that all professionals contribute to the safeguarding of children.
For adult social care, more than ever, local authorities and health organisations will need to work together, integrating both the commissioning and provision of services. The personalisation agenda offers opportunities and challenges for the way services are designed and delivered. Giving clients choice and control, with a focus on enabling people to remain at home. The focus on safeguarding and the governance needed to ensure high quality services is high on the agenda. The Health and Social Care Bill and the development of Clinical Commissioning groups and expansion of direct payments require a change in how services are planned and delivered.
