The health and adult social care sector has launched a proposed agreement for the next steps with transforming adult social care. Think Local, Act Personal sets out how councils, health bodies, providers and other community organisations will need to work more closely so individuals, their families and carers have greater choice and control over their care and support. It is anticipated that this proposed agreement will continue the work of the Putting People First programme when it ends in March 2011.
Published alongside the proposed partnership agreement are:
Personal budgets - checking the results: This paper considers emerging approaches to developing outcome-based performance measures within social care. It highlights and promotes sector-led developments in building an evidence base for the effectiveness of personal budgets that can be harnessed and used to drive the future direction of local social care systems.
Enabling risk, ensuring safety - self-directed support and personal budgets: This paper looks at how frontline staff can be confident and equipped to support people who use services to assess and evaluate their own risks.
National Market Development Forum papers: This is a series of discussion papers that explore issues and propose approaches to improving the social care market.
