Support Planning and Review Strategy Day.

This one day workshop is designed to introduce best practice recommendations for commencing the process of developing a robust support planning and review strategy.

Our experience with the development of self directed support processes has shown us that it is important that authorities develop a support planning and review strategy, with as much urgency and within a similar time frame as a resource allocation system.

We have developed the strategy document, with 'in Control' (see www.in-control.org.uk, or www.supportplanning.org.) This is a series of questions that can help a group to think through the key issues that need to be included in a support planning and review strategy.

The process of developing a robust support planning and review strategy begins with a one day workshop, designed to introduce best practice recommendations.

 

The objectives of this day are for participants to:

  • Be introduced to an overview of the self-directed support process and understand where support planning and review processes lie within self-directed support.
  • Explore the five pathways/approaches to support planning and brokerage.
  • Use a framework of 10 key areas of best practice recommendations to develop a support planning and review strategy, which places support planning at the heart of the selfdirected support process.
  • Explore what is working and what is not working currently against those 10 key areas.
  • Develop an action plan considering what it will take to implement the support plan and review strategy within an agreed timeframe, for example in 2 years time. Then for participants to develop and one year plan and finally their immediate next steps.

 

Who is it for?


Strategic stakeholders/representation, from all those involved in self-directed support/support planning within the field of social care - practitioners, managers, finance/human resource. Also decision-makers with responsibilities for agreeing support plans, personalisation team members and all other key decision makers who would authorise making resource decisions around support plans and anyone from a senior management level.

 

What will people know and be able to do as a result of attending this course?


Participants will:

  • Gain a deeper understanding of the new process of enabling people to access social care and support services by self directing their support and using individual/personal budgets.
  • Be able to demonstrate how people in receipt of an Individual/ Personal Budget are self directing their life, by developing local brokerage options, capacity and opportunities.
  • The Strategy will clearly outline your local vision and participants will be able to act on national best practice and immediately begin the process of implementing the robust action plan developed.
