  1. Where next for adult social care? Prof. Jon Glasby Director, Health Services Management Centre

  2. What if SC for? • Basic safety net? • Citizenship rights? • Investing to save (prevention and rehab)? • Promoting active citizenship? • Supporting carers?

  3. Prevention (and rehabilitation) • ‘Breaking out of the Vicious Cycle’ (Audit Commission) • ‘Inverting the triangle of care’ (ADSS/LGA) • Opportunity/challenge of public health White Paper • Evidence base = problematic – scope for ‘practice-based evidence’ rather than ‘evidence-based practice’ (key role for SCIE/ADASS etc?)

  4. Personalisation • Personalisation is social care’s ‘Big Society’ – and adult social care could be at the forefront of broader change • Biggest risk is that we overly-complicate things, kill any innovation and set staff up to fail • Very vulnerable in the current political and financial context

  5. PBs as a form of Conditional Resource Entitlement?

  6. Partnership • Will the financial context bring us together or pull us apart? • GP commissioning – place/patch/ neighbourhood-based approaches? • Language of local democracy – but what does this mean? • Importance of ‘creating NHS local’/moving beyond ‘joint commissioning’

  7. Productivity – SC as a form of social and economic investment 3 scenarios • ‘Slow uptake’ – funding doubles in 20 years • ‘Solid progress’ – costs rise, but less dramatically • ‘Fully engaged’ – could manage roughly within current resources (BUT savings accrue elsewhere) – i.e. we invest in social care to achieve savings elsewhere

  8. Implications for ADASS • Being clear about what SC has to offer • Sharing learning with others/leading the way • Standing up for social work • Being on the inside v external challenge • We need to be in it for the duration Very difficult role for ADASS – scope to learn from other sectors/countries?
