The eligibility criteria for social care can be difficult to apply to users with complex social and psychological needs. Social workers are under increasing pressure to ensure that applications for funding are well constructed in order to ensure the financial support allocated to individual and personal budgets are appropriate and maximise the options for the client. This pocketbook aims to provide a guide for those assessing and supporting individuals with complex needs such as mental health, substance misuse or learning disability. It offers guidance on how these types of issues can be applied to eligibility criteria to asses social care funding within a personalised approach targeted at recovery and improved quality of life. The book: describes legal frameworks for assessment and service delivery; examines specific elements of eligibility criteria; provides practice suggestions and checklists; and explores the interface between fair access to care services and NHS CHC criteria. Illustrative case studies are used throughout.

The appendices include: a basic report template, a good practice case study report example, an example of linking assessments to frameworks; a social circumstances report template; a Mental Health Act assessment template; a safeguarding adults template; a case conference template; a Schedule 3, Regulation 27, Fostering Services Regulations 2002; and a Form F report template.

The Delivering Race Equality (DRE) Ambassadors Programme ran from 2007 to 2010 in response to increasing concerns about the experiences of individuals from black and minority ethnic (BME) groups in mental health services. The aim of the Ambassador programme was to link into existing networks and build community engagement, via a network of independent community members, with lived experience of mental health, who would be able to represent the voices and views of groups and help ensure information flows. The goal of this evaluation was to determine the successes and learning points, and to analyse this learning in order to make informed recommendations to inform future developments. The methodology included: review of documentary evidence; interviews with key personnel involved in the programme; questionnaires sent by email to stakeholders; informal discussions with individual and group stakeholders; and a focus group with those who undertook the Ambassador role. The overall findings identified number of issues which had a significant impact on the Ambassador’s programme implementation and delivery: changing structures and processes; inconsistent application of the model; the inability to demonstrate clear outcomes; and perceptions about, and credibility of, the Ambassador role. All of these had an impact upon the effectiveness of the Ambassador programme. Despite this, anecdotal evidence point to pockets of good practice, which contributed to changes and improvements in the experience of BME service users.
Leadership for social care outcomes in mental health provision

The role of leadership, as both a competency and an organisational function, has been well researched within health and social care. Existing literature suggests the need for clarity and strength within the overall strategic vision, especially when considering the management of change in partnerships, which are essential to the delivery of social care outcomes. However, the analysis of outcome-focused organisations is a relatively new concept in health and social care. This article examines the evidence in terms of whether leadership contributes to better service user outcomes in mental health care. It suggests that the dynamics within organisations, professions and with service users are all key considerations in the achievement of positive outcomes, and the role of the leader is to empower the staff to power share and move towards cooperation. This paper concludes that leadership in mental health is important in terms of shaping services, ensuring governance and promoting innovation.

The barriers to implementing personalisation in mental health services are discussed. The author comments that the progress towards personalised services for mental health service users has not been as speedy as it could have been. She argues that risk perception, service cultures and negotiating the health and social care divide are some of the key areas that are acting as barriers to wholesale implementation. The author suggests that for personalisation to really impact on the experiences of individuals who need support several things need to be addressed and considered. First, risk needs to be considered holistically, with a consideration of the risks the person faces as well as what they may pose. Second, there needs to be a shift in culture and thinking, and the presumption that individuals cannot make choices that are in their own best interests needs to be addressed. Stigma and discrimination have a negative impact on how mental health services operate. Third, there needs to be an awareness out in the practice context that personalisation is not just a social care initiative, but the responsibility of everyone across the community and public services.

This workbook aims to help service users, carers and professionals work through the issues relating to recover-based mental health care and support. It draws on the capabilities from the 'The 10 Shared Capabilities: a framework for the whole of the mental health workforce' (Hope, 2004). It is divided into 10 sections based on these capabilities. Sections cover: working in partnership; respecting diversity; practising ethically; challenging inequality; promoting recovery; identifying people's needs and strengths; providing service user-centred care; making a difference; promoting safety and positive risk taking; and personal development and learning. Each section is subdivided into the individual competencies required for each capability. Activities and exercises are included to help the reader develop their understanding of the framework.

The integration of services has been NHS policy for a number of years, but how successfully has it been achieved? This book explores the issues from a social care perspective and examines changes in practice so far, particularly progress towards the overall aim of improving the experience of the service user, and achieving ‘seamless services’. The clash between medically-driven and socially-driven approaches has long been discussed and the book considers whether these two approaches have now been reconciled, or whether the reality of modern service provision continues to create a range of power struggles and demoralization among the professional groups.
