Issue details
Placements and Packages Policy for Adult Social Services
A placements project group was set up in early 2010 to identify efficiencies in relation to residential and nursing home placements and in relation to packages of care and support for service users helped to live at home. The project group also identified a lack of consistency of approach across different operational teams, for example in relation to team custom and practice, and in relation to the level of resources allocated to individual service users. The policy framework and practice guidance was developed in order to smooth out inconsistencies and to support practitioners in taking a more equitable approach to commissioning placements and packages for service users.
