ripfa responds to the Dilnot Commission

We have compiled a briefing in response to the Dilnot Commission on Funding of Care and Support. The briefing is organised in two parts: theory and implementation, and highlights the main points, the implications for our Partners and some of the ways in which research in practice for adults can provide support to respond to these.

Working Together Interim Report September 2011

 

 

We have published the interim findings from our Working Together Change Project. The focus of this project is to increase understanding of carers’ and practitioners’ experiences of working together, and to learn from them about what works well and less well in working together, and to identify what can be done to improve the way services work for people who use them and for carers.

Reablement is a key policy priority for health and social care in increasing independence, reducing costs and promoting partnership work. research in practice for adults has examined the evidence around reablement in terms of the implications for practice and has identified the main areas that Local Authorities need to consider. The main implications for practice arising from the research are set out in this Briefing. We are using these areas as the basis of Knowledge Exchanges to discuss and exchange learning on how Local Authorities are responding to the research messages in practice.
