Findings from the adult review We (as a system) are doing a lot of great work But it s not truly integrated: Too many assessments, not enough evidence Too many services, and they are not designed around the user Services don t know what value they add (outcomes?) People get lost in the system and have to repeat information IT?? We can do things better and cheaper than at present We could intervene earlier
Vision for adult services (not social work!) Adults in North East Lincolnshire have healthy & independent lives with easy access to joined up advice and support which gives them the control they need to help themselves . Healthy: Best possible health. Looking at both physical health and emotional wellbeing, not just absence of illness. Independent: Able to manage daily life. Be able to do the things they want, when they want to. Easy access: Anywhere, any time. As close as possible to home. Knowing what s available. Choice of options available. Joined up: Organisations deliver seamless support tailored to the individual. Control: Being able to make own decisions. Having information to make these decisions. No assumptions or being told what to do. Help themselves: Having information to make decisions. Able to ask questions. Treated and respected as equal.
Vision for social work (definitely!) Across the system in NEL, we will do social work assessments once, focusing on a holistic view of the person and based on their personal strengths. We will ensure that the assessment is shaped by people s needs and preferences. There will be a clear and transparent process for determining needs, which is rights based, consistent and fair. A single assessment record will be available to all involved in the services users care and support .
Things for you to think about today (amongst others!) How do we maximise the value of social work? How can we achieve the vision, whilst making your job easier? How do we ensure consistent practice across the system?
