Abstract: |
The Welsh Institute for Health and Social Care, University of Glamorgan with Insight Social Research and The Management Standards Consultancy were commissioned by the Care Council for Wales (Care Council) to undertake a study on the professional care at home workforce and the implications for the workforce of moving towards new ways of working. The project was commissioned to answer three key questions. What does the care at home workforce currently look like? What is the future vision for care at home and its workforce? What do we need to do to move the current workforce towards the vision? This document reports on information gathered over the 18 month study period. Section 1 provides the context for the study both in terms of the policy and legislative backdrop to care at home, and the data that is currently held on the workforce. Section 2 captures the research findings analysed by theme. Section three looks at the conclusions and recommendations. Recommendations include: recognising the value of the workforce; enhancing the role of the workforce in assessing needs, planning, coordination, reviews; the workforce implications of developing integrated services; delivering outcome- and person-focused services; and the consequences for the workforce around self-directed support. |
