Objectives for this session

• To focus on why strong families matter - at national level and in Doncaster

• To outline the Doncaster approach – system reform to join up investment, innovation and delivery

• To discuss parallels with our Social Care journey – what value can we offer and gain here?

Why Troubled Families matter

“Stable, healthy families are at the heart of strong societies. It is

within the family environment that an individual’s physical,

emotional and psychological development occurs.

It is from our family that we learn unconditional love, we

understand right from wrong, and we gain empathy, respect and

self- regulation. These qualities enable us to engage positively

at school, at work and in society in general.

‘Troubled Families’ – a Coalition Government priority

‘Troubled Families Unit’ and Payment by Results programme

Prime Minister David Cameron has said he will put "rocket boosters" under efforts to turn round 120,000 troubled families in the wake of recent rioting. Mr Cameron said bureaucracy had "held back" this work, and promised to "clear away the red tape".(bbc.co.uk)

System reform: The problem we need to solve

• Multiple assessments, outcomes, outputs, plans, key workers, performance reporting systems, costs, workers...... Bureaucracy overload!

• No overall coordination or ‘trouble - shooting’ role. • Families on the receiving end, disempowered, overwhelmed.

Our operating model: One Family, One Worker, One Plan

But….

How does commissioning work in this context?

How do services become responsive to this integrated model?

How do you really give the family and worker real power, choice and voice?

Commissioners and providers

Creating the conditions for a Joint Investment

approach

Who commissions the big resources to deal with causes and effects? A broad church!

Who has a performance and £ stake?

Who knows and reviews what works?

Who deploys them on the ground?

How can adult social care’s experience help?

• Single worker• Tackling shared public service priorities/challenges• Managing key interfaces between services• Developing provider markets• Integrating the workforce• Developing the role of communities and self help• Changing the way the money works

And more fundamentally…• Developing user empowerment, independence, choice• Empowering the front line & support worker/advocacy role• Could personalised (family) budgets be the end game?

Page 13: Building Stronger Families

Discussion topics?

•What of public service practice has (inadvertently) supported the development of ‘troubled families’?

•What of the adult social care journey to our present practice would support thinking and response to ‘Troubled Families’?

• Do we think these families could ultimately take control of their own services and budgets?
