  11. Think Local Act Personal Developing the market and Making it Real Shahana Ramsden ODI DPULO Events Date 2014

  12. Introduction • What is Think Local Act Personal? • Setting the scene – commissioning and market development • What is Making it Real • How DPULOs can get involved?

  13. About Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) • TLAP was established in 2011 • It is a Partnership of 35 national organisations and associations committed to personalisation and community based support • The Partnership spans central and local government, the provider sector, improvement agencies and people with care and support needs, carers and family members • TLAP work programme is coproduced with the National Coproduction Advisory Group

  14. Some helpful statistics…. 1.6 million employers in social care 22,000 registered organisations Worth 24 billion pounds in value Increase in self funders – 85% self funders in Surrey Key message – less money in Local Authorities but consumer led market is growing

  15. The National Market Development Forum (NMDF) NMDF is a national forum made up of commissioners, providers and people who use services. The NMDF states that: The social care market is large, important and growing! Choice and control is of little value if there is not a wider range of local, quality, personalised services to choose Personalisation requires different ways of working from commissioners… When people manage their own budgets this can lead to significant changes in diversity and flexibility of supply

  16. So, the vision is strong and shared… • Real choice of support approach & provider • The advocacy needed to open choice to all • Light touch, creative & empowering processes • Citizens involved in commissioning decisions, not just decisions about their own care • Development of non-service approaches and of services which enhance informal networks • Info on outcomes gathered & fed back in

  17. … but the reality? • Same narrow range of approaches & providers • Advocacy & brokerage scarce: the most vulnerable remain least able to express choices • More bureaucracy, more gatekeeping • Price-only procurement, including below-cost • Across the board, no-choice resource cuts • Little evidence of new commissioning culture

  18. The National Market Development Forum says… • The only way this will come about is through commissioners, providers and people using services (including their organisations), working together towards shared solutions • Commissioning for outcomes is part of the solution – but this is not common place and many relationships remain adversarial

  19. So what do we do? • The duties in the Bill will help • Invest in citizen voice and brokerage • Balance focus on demand (through personal budgets), with focus on supply • Make good on “no more per-hour purchasing” • Build on work to develop market facilitation and collaborative commissioning • Embed co-production: Make it Real!

  20. Making it Real A set of 26 “I” statements developed by people who use services, carers and citizens supporting organisations to move towards more personalised and community based support

  21. Making it Real • -Will help to mark progress towards personalised, community–based support • -Developed by TLAP, led by the Co-Production Advisory Group • -Making it Real is a “Journey, not just a destination.

  22. Making it Real – what’s in it for us? A voluntary movement for change – not directive but inspirational Co-production – the quality of the conversation is important Acknowledge gaps and find solutions Connections and learning across the UK

  23. How can DPULOs get involved? • Sign up/ register with Making it Real and develop your own action plan • Collaborate with your local authority or local providers to ensure MIR fully includes the DPULO perspective • Comment on local action plans if they do not deliver the commitments included in the action plan

  24. Making it Real kite mark In tough times we need something to aspire to….
