  14. @BASE_tweets@PlussInspires@GlosCC • The move to ‘personalise’ social care • The current direction of travel (Valuing Employment Now, Right to Control, Caring for Our Future, Think Local, Act Personal, Sayce Review) • Personal budgets and employment The background to personalised services

  15. @BASE_tweets@PlussInspires@GlosCC Pilots in Plymouth and Teignbridge • Outcomes: • Teignbridge – 7 paid jobs at 7k each • Plymouth – effective transitions pathway developed • Findings: • A fully individualised, intensive programme can produce better outcomes than traditional employment programmes. • The relationship with the individual changesfrom a “provider / service user” to “customer / provider” – in other words, the service is customer led. • The use of “Discovery methodology” to fully understand a customer was central to success. • Employers value continuity of support from a single of point of contact • Transparency around services and outputs are very important when operating in what is a retail environment • Building a robust presumption of employability is crucial with this cohort. Developing a Pluss personalisation model

  16. @BASE_tweets@PlussInspires@GlosCC Pluss has used the pilots to build a core programme of five service packages based on the principles of the DoE’s Valuing Employment Now:  • Introducing you to work • Getting to know you • You getting a job • Job start and induction • Maintain and monitor The Pluss personalisation offer
