Presentation Transcript

  1. Glasgow Life: Early Intervention Glasgow Life’s position was informed by a cross-service workshop to: • define early intervention and consider this within a Glasgow Life context • identify current early intervention initiatives delivered by Glasgow Life • explore where the Company should focus its contribution to early intervention.

  2. Understanding Early Intervention Early intervention is: • an approach that aims to change a situation or behaviour before additional, specialist support (for example, social work services) is required. • a ‘whole of life’ approach, impacting on people of all ages and is applied to a range of policy agendas.

  3. It is recognised that: • investment in the early years can establish a strong foundation for the rest of an individual’s life and, as a result, it is understandable that there is a significant focus on the early years. • responding earlier to emerging problems (i.e. before they reach crisis) is more likely to deliver improved social and economic benefits, including being more cost effective in the longer term.

  4. One Glasgow • Children aged 0–8 years, specifically early intervention approaches for this group and their families • Reducing offending, targeted at those aged 12–25 years involved in antisocial behaviour or in the criminal justice system, including prison leavers • Older people aged 65 and over, specifically to assist those in single households to live in the community and minimise acute interventions and hospital admissions.

  5. Glasgow Life and early intervention criteria • Whole of life • Preventative • Resilience • Asset-based • Collaborative and Contributory

  6. Triggers and Transitions • critical windows where early intervention can be most effective • targeting people who are experiencing difficulties • Often associated with key triggers (e.g. bereavement, illness, redundancy) or transitions(e.g. becoming a parent, school transition, retirement).

  7. What are the changes we want to see? • Increased staff awareness • Partnership • Targeted • Connections • Outcome-focused

  8. CLDMS Adult Learning Sub-Group • Wanted to explore what early intervention means in adult learning. • Wanted to describe adult learning interventions that addressed life triggers/transitions.
