Common use of Adult Social Care Workforce Clause in Contracts

Adult Social Care Workforce. The provision of integrated health and social care services through local multidisciplinary teams has proved to be an effective model for delivery, able to respond to customer needs swiftly, facilitate rehabilitation, and avoid admissions to residential care and hospital where ever possible. However, the existing model relies on a level of staff resources which will not be sustainable in future given the additional demands. An alternative model is being designed which will have an impact on how staff are deployed. The new care model will be built on a strengths based approach, aligning entirely to the model in use within the voluntary sector and Integrated Personal Commissioning. Adopting this approach across social care, health services, and the private, voluntary and independent sectors will bring a synergy of approach not previously seen. For social care this is building upon the previous ‘Personalisation Strategy’. This is being developed with initiatives e.g. Strengths Based Working and Making Every Contact Count (MECC) and will underpin a more from time based and care based provision to outcomes based commissioning.
