‘Creating the Connections at Local Levels’ (CALL) Reports
- Area of Work:
- Type: Resource
A collection of reports from the "Creating the Call" programme of events aiming to develop local solutions to SDS and Healthcare integration
Part of the Changing Support, Changes Lives programme, which aims to build the capacity of individuals and providers to implement self-directed support, Creating the Connections is focused on increasing the collaboration between the self-directed support and health improvement strategy in the delivery of a person centred health and social care system. Taking this to the local level, Creating the CALL
(Connections At Local Levels) aimed to:
- Take learning from the ‘Building the Connections’ event to develop an agenda for moving the discussion forward with people who use health and social care services at the centre.
- Gather personal stories and lived experiences from individuals who have utilised self-directed support for the attainment of both health
and social care outcomes. - Engage with individuals, supporters, providers, public bodies, and stakeholders at a local level to shape the design and delivery of joined up self-directed support.
- Raise public awareness of the shift towards person-centred health and social care approaches through the co-production of service design and delivery.
- Build momentum for a progression of health and social care self-directed support which recognises the individual assets of people with long term conditions.
This report compiles the views expressed during each event, giving a wide-ranging account of the various issues arising across Scotland as Self-directed Support is implemented. Given that each event took place in varied locations across Scotland, including the Islands, rural settings, cities and towns, opinions demonstrate a cross section of experiences of recent reforms to social care. The report begins with a summary of each of the four events, starting with the Western Isles, to South Ayrshire, to Aberdeen, and ending in Falkirk. Emerging
themes from all events are both unique to the area that is facing the issue, and shared across the country. Therefore the penultimate section highlights the key themes that have been learned as the issues within each event came to light.
