Delivering Gateshead Councils Priori5es
Alice Wiseman Consultant in Public Health
Overview
• Vision 2030 and the Council Plan • Commissioning landscape – Transforma5on
– Achieving More together – Re-‐designed Social Care model
• Outcome of the VCS Policy Advisory Group
We all want Gateshead to be a place that cares –
where people look out for one another and support
the most vulnerable; a place which shares, both
the responsibility, but also our collec5ve resources
to achieve the best outcomes; a place that grows,
both economically, and in confidence and spirit
As a Council, we are facing increasing demands
for services and reducing resources to meet
those needs. Our roles and responsibili5es and that
of our partners are changing rapidly, as are the
expecta5ons of local ci5zens.
Context for Transforma5on
• Social care contribu5on to efficiencies in 2016/17 = £14.3m
• Implementa5on of new demand management model – working with partners and families to provide different op5ons for care and support in the early stages of need
– focus on preven5on
Achieving more together -‐ Phases
• Developing an opera5ng system by 1st April 2016 • Developing longer term strategic ac5ons including: – Commissioning be\er support and informa5on systems
– Digital developments – Improved use of customer service points – Coordina5on of different sources of help and resources
Achieving more together – Principles
• A whole system approach • A whole person approach • Added value • Asset based • Local people are our the main resource • Learning and development
What it is • People and outcomes at the heart • Best use of resources – all our resources including those of residents
• Working together differently to connect assets with need
• Shared responsibility • Building networks across individuals, communi5es and organisa5ons (of all kinds)
What its not
• Its not a “shiney new thing” or panacea -‐ our star5ng point is to scope elements, build on exis5ng good work and consciously accelerate and galvanise the approach
• We are not thinking of this as a specific methodology for working with communi5es (Asset Based Community Development)
Adult Social Care Process Model from 1 April 2016
Func5ons

Policy Advisory Group – Key Issues • Commissioning with the third sector
– what the Council and its partners might do differently to support the VCS to become more commission-‐ready
– what the VCS can do differently to deliver services
• The state of the third sector – the state of the VCS sector, and what the Council and its partners might do differently
– exis5ng infrastructure organisa5ons across Tyne and Wear, and how they are suppor5ng the VCS
– exis5ng Gateshead organisa5ons, and their ability to be more resilient.
Recommenda5ons • Explore the establishment of a Gateshead Fund • Consider the refinement of the Local Community Fund • Adopt a Social Value Policy within the procurement process • Explore possibility of awarding longer contracts • Review how the Council commissions an infrastructure
organisa5on • Iden5fy and expand volunteering opportuni5es for
residents • Increase the number of community groups and
organisa5ons engaged in Live Well Gateshead • Explore ways to draw resources into the Borough
