Care Act: Integrated working across boundaries: helping frontline workers to better communicate with Adult Social Care
Overview
To explore the implications of the Care Act 2014 for people with multiple and complex needs. The workshop will look at:
- What kind of support is covered?
- Who is eligible?
- How should commissioners, service managers and practitioners respond to these changes?
Drawing on VOICES’ experience and progress to date in securing assessment and support under the Care Act, we will introduce the Multiple Needs Care Act Toolkit. The Toolkit is an inter-professional ‘training aid’ which is designed to help people with multiple needs and their support networks to articulate their circumstances in the context of the Care Act 2014.
Professional Development
- To increase confidence among housing/homelessness/recovery workers and service users in working with the new Care Act legislation
- To support social workers (who may be unfamiliar with this ‘client group’) to explore how homelessness and exclusion impacts on the need for care and support
- To enable relationships and information exchange between these two groups of workers who may not have worked together previously
Who should attend
Staff that work with people experiencing combinations of homelessness, addiction, mental ill health and offending behaviours.
- Frontline workers (Voluntary, Health and Statutory sectors)
- Managers
- Commissioners
