• Prevention: (social capital, reducing/delaying demand for on-going care)

• Personalisation: individuals not institutions take control of their care. Personal budgets, preferably as direct payments, are provided to all eligible people. Information about care and support is available for all local people, regardless of whether or not they fund their own care.

• Partnership: (integation) • Plurality (diverse, quality provision).• Protection: (safeguarding)• Productivity: (efficiency)• People: (workforce)

Care Bill May 2013

• Caring for our future brought together the recommendations from the Law Commission, Commission on the Funding of Care and Support with the Government’s Vision for Adult Social Care, to discuss with stakeholders what the priorities for reform should be.

In Practice (since 2007)

• Effects of policy focus/de-facto targets for personal budgets and initial delivery approach (top-down implementation of an early stage innovation)

• Implementation in context of major budget reductions and Dilnot/funding debate

• Big technical, practice and cultural challenges for commissioners, providers, practitioners, people and families

• A lot of experience, some significant positive outcomes, some poor delivery, much learning (but much more to do!)

Looking forward in socialcare:

• Implementation in context of much reduced £ and wider reforms

• Continuing cultural and practical challenges – process, outcomes

• Integration, Health and Well-Being Boards – personalisation part of the solution?

• Making it work for all (all groups, all circumstances)

• Supporting a new workforce and new ways of working

• Beyond personal budgets – provider and market development, social capital, information, advice and advocacy

• Co-production - power of people using public services?

Research

• Vital in context of early stage innovations• Should test policy – but also keep step

with it• Needs to help policymakers,

commissioners, providers and people using social care to improve it

• To have impact needs to be well engaged and connected with the above
