Explores older people’s experiences of care in order to bring conceptual and practical clarity to the concept of dignity, drawing on qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with African-Caribbean and Black Welsh service users. The report identifies and discusses four themes, including dignity as acknowledgement of older people’s worth and the virtue of age, mutual respect and reciprocity, social identity and racialisation, and the expectations of care. The study suggests that for the participants, social markers such as ethnicity and cultural identity shaped their understanding of what dignity means and also had an impact on how they felt they would be treated in care encounters. A key message is that attention to these elements is important, as is the need to develop an understanding of the possible impact such factors may have on enhancing or damaging a care experience.

A participatory research project which aimed to develop better ways for people with learning disabilities to find support after being abused and to prevent abuse. The research questions asked were: What do people with learning disabilties understand by abuse?; what are their views about abuse?; What help and support do they need to keep safe?; and what is the best way to help someone who has been abused? The study also wanted to learn more about how participatory research could work effectively. For the first part of the study, data were gathered from people with learning disabilities in Wales by means of individual interviews (n= 14), focus groups (47 people in 7 groups) and questionnaires (n=107). Data indicated that participants were aware of a range of different types of abuse and aware of the negative effects it can have on people but whilst they can identify strategies that could help to keep people safe and support them if they are abused, there seems to be a lack of education regarding personal safety issues. In addition they do not always feel that they are listened to and/ or believed. The study also identified important issues to consider when undertaking participatory research. These included: building and maintaining relationships, issues relating to how people are employed, practical issues such as money and accessibility and time. (Original abstract)

The Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Bill (2013) will place a duty on Welsh Ministers to make a regular statement on well-being outcomes for people who need care and support and to develop and maintain a National Outcomes Framework for Social Services in Wales. This report was produced for the Welsh Government and considers how well-being can be measured. It looks at defining the target population, how different methods of survey will impact on responses, and the need to make special arrangements for certain groups. The report then discusses the pros and cons of various options for collating the information, looking at the National Survey for Wales and other sources of population data, longitudinal studies, information held by the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW), a national social care users survey and local authority information on well-being.

Integrated care and programme development is at the heart of the efficiency and effectiveness agenda. Research has shown that both clinical service delivery, especially when multiple organisations are iinvolved, as well as broader programme developments, are dominated by gaps and overlaps in respect of activity, rather than planned cooperation. The inefficiency of this is considerable, and it jeopardises the chance of employing effective approaches. Further, it is difficult for individual patients or communities of interest to participate in a wholly engaged way when confronted with relative confusion.
