A briefing for MPs setting out a vision for mental health, autism and learning disability services in 2032. The cornerstone of this vision is that by 2032, there must be no wrong door for anyone seeking support for mental health, autism and learning disability needs. People should be able to present at any point in the system - from pharmacies, advisory services and community groups to education, social services, the criminal justice system and primary care - and get the right support. The vision contains a number of best practice case studies that show what the future for mental health, learning disability and autism services across the country could look like.

This report sets out a vision for what mental health, autism and learning disability services should look like in ten years' time, for people of all ages in England. Commissioned by the NHS Confederation and written by Centre for Mental Health, the report brings together research and engagement with a wide range of stakeholders, as well as people who bring personal and professional experience about what these vital services should be like in 2032. It identifies ten interconnecting themes that underpin the vision: prevention; early intervention; access to quality, compassionate care; seeing the bigger picture; whole-person care; equality focus; co-production; autonomy, human rights and community support; a stronger workforce; outcomes that matter. There are three key requirements for this vision to become a reality: 1. Sustained and sufficient investment; 2. Effective long-term workforce development and planning; 3. A deep commitment to large-scale reform, innovation and change. The report explores what might help and what could hinder the vision, calling for action on funding, workforce and reform to enable faster access to care. As the case studies featured in this report show, every element of the vision is already a reality somewhere in England. The ambition is to see it realised everywhere. By making the changes outlined here and investing in the vision, people’s lives can be improved. (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 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)

This publication provides examples of positive joint working between health and social care and the third sector. The examples show how integrated working has improved the well-being of individuals since the introduction of the Social Services and Well-Being (Wales) Act 2014. The anonymised case studies cover different service areas and client groups from across Wales. They include case studies of an older person awaiting discharge from hospital; a child at risk of sexual exploitation; a disabled person using direct payments; a young adult with care and support needs following discharge from hospital; older people needing care and support to maintain independence in the community; and a child with ASD and ADHD; and older parents caring for an adult with a learning disability and care and support needs at home. Whilst primarily looking at the person’s perspective they also show how the family carer, nurse or health professional, social care worker or professional or Third Sector professional contributed to the desired outcome. In each case the main relevant themes of the 2014 Act are highlighted. The case studies show that focusing on well-being, personal outcomes and working in an integrated way can have significant benefits for individuals and their families, as well as for people working in health and social care and for the effective use of resources.
