Sutton Disability Partnership for Children and Young PeopleImproving the lives of disabled children and young people, and their families
But ….. TRANSITION! • Inherently difficult life-change for families • Structures that don’t match up • Different funding streams • Different legislation • Different priorities • Different policies • Multiple cultures • Strongly held, conflicting beliefs
Transition Partnership Board • Young people
Transition one year on • Better understanding • Vision and Principles • Protocol • Transition health check big issues affecting outcomes we agree we must tackle
Question • As LAs and PCTs focus on cutting spending, will the arrangements we have all developed for partnership and participation (a) survive and (b) continue to serve a purpose?
Current threats to Partnership and Participation • Retreat to silos: from collaboration to cost-shunting • Participation costs money but is not core business • Savings not optional – so why consult? • Power relationships laid bare • Mindset shifts from “involve in decisions” to “manage expectations”
