Minutes
A report was provided to the Panel that set out key progress made towards the nine priorities identified in “Your Care and Support 2024”, Doncaster’s Local Account for Adult Social Care. The Panel looked at progress made, particularly in relation to the lived experience of Doncaster people receiving adult social care and support. An outline of 2024’s achievements together with the priorities for next year in a new local account, “Your Care and Support 2025” were also provided to the Panel.
A discussion took place which covered the following areas;
Progress Made Against Priorities - It was felt that the greater involvement of individuals with lived experience on interview and recruitment panels had been significant during the last year. Reference was made to the value it gave to those individuals to participate in that process, having a ‘voice’ and being able to give something back and make a difference for the people of Doncaster. It was felt that a great deal of improvement had been made in this area.
The Chair reminded those present that a motion had been passed at Council around employing more people with disabilities and expressed an interest in revisiting that topic in the future.
Priorities for Care and Support 2025 - The Panel heard that the Priorities for Care and Support 2025 would look to include the following.
1. A new priority around care and support needs for homelessness and rough sleeping.
2. Support for carers.
3. The separation of two existing priorities already in the Local Account around direct payments and home care, to ensure that they are given equal priority going forward.
There were several questions asked around each of the priorities within the Care and Support Local Account 2024.
Priority 1 - Increase opportunities for local people with lived experience of care and support to influence Doncaster’s approach, from improving our services to recruiting the right people.
· It was felt that there had been many opportunities experienced during the year. Reference was made to the work of the Community Autism and Learning Disability Team (CALDT) team, drop-ins at the Wellness Centre where people can come and share their experiences, understanding the complaint’s procedure and having instant access to support. An example was provided where a resident attended an event as they did not have the opportunity to do so within their own area. It was viewed that Doncaster was leading the way with the commitment of the Council and its partners. It was felt that more could be done such as engaging with people from different backgrounds and ethnicities to become more involved in this work.
· It was felt that working with people in terms of co-production was one of the Councils biggest strengths, as well as the opportunities provided for more people to become more involved. Examples of opportunities were provided such as developing policies, representatives on the Making it Real Board, attending scrutiny panels, and participating as part of recruitment and interview panels. It was considered important that they were meaningful opportunities and that people’s views, and expertise were valued.
· Helen spoke about Council initiatives that worked with people with lived experiences and commented that the opportunities provided here were not offered elsewhere.
· Zac stated that he would like to see better co-production across the Council. It was felt that there was a need to expand this with employees.
· Glyn spoke about how forward thinking the Council had become.
Priority 2 - Make sure that we make public information and advice about rights (including to independent advocacy), responsibilities and sources of support routinely available.
· Communication – Reference was made to CALDT comments around effective communication and an example was shared of how information had been produced to obtain a bus pass. Acknowledgement was made on how important accessible information was for residents. Members heard that there was an information and advice working group made up of various officers from the Council and a range of individuals with lived experience. It was continued that the group had established a list of priorities in terms of information that they want to be made available within an accessible easy-to-understand format. It was noted that knowing about rights had been included this year. From this a range of documents had been produced outlining people’s rights and the group had worked through various key pieces of information. Glyn spoke about the importance of advocacy and having a communications strategy in place.
Priority 3 - Continue to improve local, timely access to care and support, making sure we listen to people seeking support, their families, and local communities to understand what matters most to them.
· Greatest Achievements During 2024 – It was felt that there had been a positive impact in terms of changes from a social care perspective. It was commented that when contacting Adult Social Care, an individual would be passed through to the social work team in the locality and community. It was considered important to have a conversation about what mattered to that person. It was recognised that sharing an individual’s story to numerous people was not always helpful.
Priority 4 - Create and sustain more employment opportunities for disabled people in Doncaster.
· It was explained that the incentive to employers was to have employees with a broad range of skills and knowledge to be able to give back into the community. It was clarified that the Council had signed up to the South Yorkshire Employment and Ambassador standards. Members heard that the Job Match Work Coach helped create that opportunity through their hard work and perseverance and feedback from Toyota had shown that employing an individual with learning disabilities had been a positive experience. Glyn and Zac spoke about their own experiences, what was needed from an employer and the value it can bring.
· Health and Safety – it was explained that it was everyone’s responsibility to ensure appropriate health and safety was in place. An outline of an organisations duty and legislation was provided, and it was stated that discussions would take place with the employee to help them in the workplace. It was noted that there were opportunities around access to work to support individuals in employment and to make reasonable adjustments.
· Helen informed Members of her offer to be a buddy in the Council, providing support to those with a visual impairment and help prevent people experiencing the issues that she had. Glyn spoke about the importance of compassion, the benefits of employing people from different backgrounds and helping them to find and remain in employment. It was considered that the Council should employ more disabled people as an example for other organisations to follow.
Priority 5 – Increase the choice and control people have over their support at home, whether they choose to have a direct payment or to have care and support arranged by the Council.
· It was explained that there were several organisations that delivered this service, of which some were private, and others had been set up in different ways such as being a charity organisation. It was stated that it was about how they aligned with the Councils values. Members heard that efforts were being made to look at recommissioning support at home which was a significant piece of work being undertaken. It was explained that it was about enabling that person to be part of the community.
· It was noted that it was about people accessing direct payment and enabling them to have choice and control. Whilst it was not a service that was commissioned by the Council, it was about making sure that residents received good information and advice in a robust way. It was explained that this priority had been split into 2 separate priorities so that this was a priority that would receive greater focus in the future.
Actions – Panel to receive a copy of the information.
· Members were informed that anyone accessing a direct payment would have undertaken a needs assessment and how those needs were best met. It was added that the person would be supported in understanding what they could achieve with a direct payment. It was explained that direct payments were one part and dependent on whether that person chose to take a payment or request the Council to do that on their behalf. It was noted that an individual could ask for a review and that there were annual reviews built in.
· Helen explained that she uses Personal Independence Payment (rather than direct payments) but could approach the Council for advice if needed.
Priority 6 - Support more people to live in a place they call home by helping more people to leave hospital and mental health in-patient stays promptly and reducing the number of people living with restrictions on their liberty.
· Safe Return to Home – It was explained that if an individual needed to go into temporary care within a care home establishment, then re-enablement would be put in place (delivered by an in-house enablement service). It would then be facilitated for that individual to go home. Members heard that it would take 6 weeks for the assessment to be undertaken to see whether that person needed long-term support. It was outlined that when the person left, they would be advised if there was a deterioration in their needs. Work would be undertaken with that individual to see how their needs could be supported in the long-term. It was stressed that the vision was about focusing reablement services and that more people wanted to go home,
· Helen told Members that she had been supported by the STEPS team following a fall. Helen explained that they assessed her needs and supported her for 6 weeks during which she was contacted by her care provider. At the end of the 6 weeks, Helen was given the opportunity to provide a review and feedback.
· Glynn referred to the importance of treating people in such establishments with dignity and that those people remained there for only as long as they needed to.
Priority 7 – Improve our support for young people who require care and support in their teenage years and into early adulthood, to make sure they can plan ahead and have enough time to make informed decisions about their future.
· Challenges – Members heard that the most significant challenge in improving support to young people into early adulthood was the timeliness of referrals into Adult Social Care for those likely to need support in making that transition. It was explained that the service was seeing late referrals coming in. Young people and practitioners had fed back, sharing that a lengthy period was needed to work with a young person, their parents and others involved to build relationships and undertake some positive transition planning. Work undertaken to address this challenge had included setting a key principle where the Council would be working with the young person from 14 years old to help build support arrangements around them ready for adulthood. Reference was made to data on all the young people known about, that were likely to need support them into adulthood (post 18). It was continued that the data source was being used to start planning timely transitions at an early stage. It was shared that there was a want to move away from Adult Social Care services being diagnosis led to ensure that the right support was there and changing to become more outcome focused and needs led.
· Members heard that Zac had become involved in preparation for adult care. Zac outlined performance information around waiting times set against the NICE guidance times for autism diagnosis, (which were around 3 years) although in Doncaster the numbers had improved due to the efforts of the Local Authority board partnership organisations. It was explained that this fell to the Adult Social Care Team, by which time would also be addressing the negative impact of an individual waiting for such a long time for their assessment. It was viewed that a diagnostic led approach could often be detrimental for an individual.
· Glyn explained that when diagnosed as a child, the diagnosis was needed to access support and suggested that alternative arrangements for assessments could be beneficial. Zac felt that a diagnosis could provide a person with an identify and understanding.
· The Chair of the Panel stressed that although being needs led was something that should be in place and was the ideal, we all needed to be on the same page as health as the NHS would not accept the individual without a diagnosis.
· The Service Director for Adult Social Care explained that another key challenge was providing joined up support for young people. It was explained that the Council was currently at stage to make a significant proposal in the partnership. It was continued that the partnership proposal would be to develop a multiagency transition hub where key partners had joined up conversations about young people who required support going into their adulthood. The range of partners included adult social care, the Integrated Care Board, a mental health provider, education, housing and employment.
Priority 8 - Develop and support the wellbeing of Doncaster’s adult social care workforce so they can support Doncaster people to live their best lives.
· “Blended” Role for Therapy – The Chair commented that she was pleased to hear about blended roles for therapy at the Positive Steps Unit (PSU) site visit. The Service Director for Integration and Partnerships spoke about the benefits of having a broad range of skills and background and recognised that there was a real mix of skills across the PSU Management Team. It was explained that the amount of therapy support received at PSU was minimal. It was acknowledged that a Support Staff Team was needed to work with people on their goals and to support the Physiotherapist. Members heard that that there was a long-term piece of work to undertake at PSU and small steps would be taken forward.
· It was confirmed that apprenticeship schemes were available. It was acknowledged that Occupational Therapists were hard to recruit to and at present the team was well resourced.
· Helen explained that she had previous involvement with STEPS and would be visiting the PSU. Helen also mentioned her experience of working with Occupational Therapists to give them a wider understanding of what steps they need to adhere to in a home.
Priority 9 - Improve equality, diversity, and inclusion.
· Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) - It was explained that EDI had been woven into staff communication over the last year. Members heard that staff were being provided with the message that good adult social care was based on inclusion. Efforts were being made to ensure that there was an understanding that every person was an individual and an awareness of what barriers they faced. Reference was made to the EDI workshop which was considered a good place to bring people together and discuss this issue. It was acknowledged that more work could be done.
· Programme of Leadership Development (Including Reverse Mentoring) - An explanation was provided about what was meant by reverse mentoring, which was around understanding barriers and diverse backgrounds. Members heard about the steps being taken to reduce inequalities and learn from those with lived experience. Members heard that small amounts of reverse mentoring were being undertaken in some parts of the Council, and it was hoped that this could be built upon and become embedded within adult social care early 2025.
· Shared Commitment to Cultural Competency Across Adult Social Care - Members were informed that staff from diverse backgrounds (as well as those in receipt of care and support) have been brought together by a researcher at the University of York. The researcher had been embedded within adult social care as part of a collaborative programme called the Curiosity Partnership. It was explained that conversations had already taken place around what cultural competence meant to people. It was outlined that the shared commitment would be published by the end of the year. Members heard that the statement would have several themes running through it to help drive practical actions in 2025 and to further improve the equality, diversity and inclusion in adult social care.
The Chair referred to the recent Ofsted inspection at Amersall Home outstanding and congratulated them on this successful outcome Reference was made to the value of learning from someone with learning disabilities and the potential employing someone as an employer.
It was also requested that the Panel receive an update on the 2025 priorities within the “Your Care and Support”, Doncaster’s 2024 Local Account for Adult Social Care.
The Co-Chairs of MIRB thanked the Panel for their attendance.
RESOLVED THAT. The Panel note and comment upon progress to date in delivering the priorities identified by “Your Care and Support”, Doncaster’s 2024 Local Account for Adult Social Care.
