Confusion about “Brokerage” We should either abandon use of the term or make sure we define it clearly when we do use it.
Current Reality I - Phase II Report: • 96% people (of 196 in sample) got help to develop a plan • 38% used their social worker • 15% used family and friends • 32% used family or friends and their social worker • 15% paid someone to support them • Outcomes improved more where family and friends and family were involved • The impact of social work support had a variable impact on outcomes but was particularly valuable to older people
Current Reality 2 - Ibsen Report: IBSEN data skewed by depending largely on people transfered over from DP schemes - no data to correlate outcomes and forms of support
Possible Principles for Experimentation • Make SDS systems accessible and easy to use • Minimise transaction costs (so that more money ends up in the hands of citizens) • Make best use of community resources - map & grow - both formal and informal support systems • Continue to innovate and promote creative solutions • Ensure multiple support options • Provide a universal information system • Put in place strategic/commissioning leadership for whole area • Fully involve self-funders • Do not limit to social care • Think prevention - early information, planning, transitions • Mindful of the need to engage and support user-led organisations • Involve people using personal budgets in change process
Goals of the TT Support System Project • Develop an efficient and effective infrastructure for SDS • Write up elements of good practice • Demonstrate how the overall cost of the current infrastructure can be reduced • Monitor progress and impact on personal outcomes • Demonstrate how the current system can be transformed • Engaging key national stakeholders to understand issues and opportunities
