A new document approved by the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) sets out a vision for what the social care sector needs to deliver over the next four years. The SCIE have declared that practical support is essential to ensure that the vision becomes reality.
The paper, entitled ‘A vision for adult social care: capable communities and active citizens’ identifies five principal pillars of the vision. These are: prevention; personalisation; plurality and partnership; protection; and finally productivity, quality and innovation.
Allan Bowman, chair of the SCIE, says that they will continue to offer commissioners and care providers with practical guidance and support in these five areas. He explains: “We know that delivering the vision will be a challenge, but social care is full of innovators.”
The SCIE are currently developing an online guide on prevention which will be based on existing evidence and real-life examples. The first sections of the guide are to be published in December. Allan Bowman said: “We are particularly pleased to see that prevention is one of the principal pillars of the vision. During a time of financial restraint, it may be tempting to focus only on critical needs, but the developing evidence shows that disinvesting in prevention is a false economy, merely increasing the need for even more critical care at a later date.”
Reports have already been published in the areas of personalisation and plurality and partnership. The SCIE is currently working with councils, Metropolitan Police, NHS and probation services in London to develop a common set of guidelines on adult safeguarding. They will then use this project to help develop a national approach to adult safeguarding.
The SCIE already has guides which provide evidence about what works for productivity, quality and innovation and they are publishing a study into efficiency and personalisation in December.
Perry Leeks, Managing Director at First Response Training, comments: “It is great that a clear vision has been defined for the future of social care and that the SCIE are preparing to support and guide care providers towards achieving these common goals.
“Our own vision is to create safer working environments with people who care, and we are happy to assist organisations within the social care industry in any way that we can.
"We offer a wide range of social care training courses and can tailor training towards the individual requirements of a particular setting, while ensuring that it still meets national standards. We work with many major care clients and are aware of the challenges the sector is facing both at the moment and over the next few years. It is our aim to help.
“Please call and speak to our dedicated advisors, who can talk you through your various training options. We offer training in areas such as safeguarding, person-centred care, dignity in care and many, many more. Call 0800 310 2300 or browse our website to find out more.”
