Outcomes Network
The network aims to foster the exchange of information, mutual support and learning for those wishing to find practical ways of implementing 'outcomes approaches' within the field of social care. Initially the network sought to draw and build on the findings of a 5-year programme of research and development work undertaken by the Social Policy Research Unit (SPRU) at the University of York, and funded by the Department of Health, relating to social care outcomes for older people, younger adults with physical and sensory impairments and carers. The concepts and principles developed from that programme continue to provide a solid basis for the further development of an outcomes approach to service provision. Now, under the umbrella of the Better Commissioning Learning and Information Network our intention is that it will continue to fulfil that role.
