Creating partnerships for recovery Jo Roebuck Deputy Regional Manager London Region
Question • What can we deliver as a partnership that we can’t deliver on our own?
Context: partnerships • Welfare Reform Bill • Widest and most far reaching partnership panorama • Politically unique moment • Department for Work and Pensions and Department of Health • Job Centre Plus and National Treatment Agency • Local strategic partnerships • Commissioning partnerships • Delivery partnerships • Key stakeholder is the service user
Context: recovery outcomes • Welfare reform Bill requires a new pathway between JCP and drug treatment • Opportunity to create a ‘shared client group’ between JCP and Treatment providers • Share resources and knowledge • Develop collaborative working • Enhance care coordination • Integrate care planning to support inter-related client goals • Be more ambitious for drug users • Recovery means more than drug treatment
Parthership working: the practical bits • Shared priorities: eg strategies that read across organisations and are supported by executive bodies and government departments • Shared ambitions: eg outcome indicators • Shared resources: eg myriad JCP training and support schemes, DAAT drug training for JCP advisors • Shared processes: eg care planning, information sharing • Shared principles: eg adding value, not increasing bureaucracy, being clear about how and why we share information
Integrated care planning: the key • Requires information sharing (via ‘Employment Action Plan’?) • Preferably treatment lead – pace, expectation • Aspirational regarding movement towards skills and employment • Adds value not bureaucracy • Risk of attrition on both sides • Opportunity of sustaining engagement on both sides • Opportunity for JCP ‘caseloading’ system • Must fit with mandation and flexible New Deal • Treatment allowance pilot in Central London
Outcomes and expectations • Recovery from drug use, getting into in work • Test the outcomes of integrated care planning • Improved care planning and care coordination • Improved treatment exits • Improved workforce skills • Towards ‘recovery’ measure? • Remodelling the care system for drug users? • Housing?
