A framework to support children and young people with mental health in the instances where attendance or admission to an acute setting may be the most clinically appropriate option. Over the past decade, there has been increasing need for mental health services to support children and young people. The pandemic resulted in a greater number of children and young people presenting with mental health disorders, often with complex needs requiring care or medical stabilisation, within a paediatric or acute setting. This framework commits to ensuring children and young people, and those who look after them, are supported. The framework consists of six elements: 1. Ensure that five key principles underpin joint working to support CYP with mental health needs who present in acute paediatric settings, and that a culture is fostered where we work collaboratively in providing holistic care for our CYP; 2. Develop ways of working that bring system partners together across the patient journey and understand where systems are in developing joined-up pathways. This may include learning from areas doing good work to transform care across their wider footprint; 3. Understand system maturity by considering 'what good looks like' and where the system sits along that journey; 4. Ensure that specific consideration is given to managing CYP with a learning disability or autistic CYP who may present to hospital with acute mental health needs - some systems have developed a holistic approach; 5. Work together to ensure the clinical team(s) within the acute setting have the support they need to deliver high quality care - this includes ensuring access to training and education across the system; 6. Testing and developing the evidence around innovative practice. (Edited publisher abstract)

This toolkit provides recommendations and examples of innovative practice for professionals working in social services providing care for older people. It is based on desktop literature research and the result of the European Social Network’s (ESN) work on ageing and care between 2014 and 2016. Chapters cover knowledge and best practice around initiatives to promote active ageing and independence, carers support, improving the coordination of health and social care services, and support for people with complex needs and disabilities as they grow older. Chapter one focuses on the promotion of active ageing and discusses key developments such as supporting volunteering, prevention and early intervention, and rehabilitation. Chapter two highlights the challenges in recruiting sufficient qualified social care staff, particularly in the provision of long-term care and looks at how to better support informal carers. Chapter three discusses cooperation and integration opportunities in older people’s services. It analyses the challenges of integrated services at three different levels: macro-level, meso-level and micro-level. The final chapter explores how people with multiple conditions can be supported most effectively in a person-centred way, including people living with dementia and people with learning disabilities. Each chapter includes a review of the legal and policy frameworks and examples from practice. (Edited publisher abstract)

Good practice guidance developed to help Regional Partnership Boards in Wales to develop their own approaches to the integrated commissioning of services for people with a learning disability. The guidance will help commissioners to follow the principles in the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, in terms of helping individuals to lead an ordinary life with dignity, and co-producing appropriate solutions to help individuals to achieve the outcomes important to them. The guidance looks at the role of the strategic commissioner, how they can lead cultural change and how to commission ‘good lives’ through co-production approaches. It also explains how taking a whole systems, lifespan approach to positive behaviour support can reduce placement breakdown and prevent hospital admission. The guidance has been developed by the National Commissioning Board in partnership with the Institute for Public Care. (Edited publisher abstract)

A draft national framework designed to improve the care of people with learning disabilities, shifting services away from hospital care and towards community-based settings. The document outlines a service model designed to ensure a degree of national consistency, while giving commissioners the flexibility to design services that best fit the needs of their local population. It sets out to provide clarity on ‘what good looks like’ for health, social care and housing services for people with a learning disability and/or autism and a mental illness or behaviour that challenges. It focuses on services and packages of care and support funded by the NHS and local government, as well as NHS/local government interfaces with other services (e.g. education), but not those services funded by other public sector agencies themselves (e.g. schools). The model comprises nine principles that should underpin the design of good services, and these are: planned, proactive and coordinated care; service users’ choice and control over their care; support in the community; service users’ choice over where they live; fulfilling and purposeful everyday life; good care from mainstream NHS services; access to specialist health and social care support in the community; access to services aimed at preventing or reducing anti-social or offending behaviour; and access to high-quality hospital treatment.
