From evidence to blueprints for action
Sally Witcher&
Judith Midgely
Why do we need evidence?- Understand, learn- Influence, persuade- Predict- Communicate - articulate, visualise- Reassure, build confidence- Drive improvements to practice
What is evidence?
Evidence to action to evidence
SDS Evidence Explorers- Purpose: explore issues and process of coproducing evidence
- Outcomes
– Evidence gaps and action to plug– Value of different types of evidence– Share learning, promote improvement– Participants’ learning
- Co-production partners
What we did & what we found- Evidence gaps- Work streams
– Mental health– Human Rights Implications– BME Communities
- SDS Insight
Evidence gaps- 2 stage process- Clusters- Framework
– To organise and steer collection– Analytical tool/s
Evidence (gaps) framework- Strategic issues- Designing delivery- What’s happening now- Outcomes
Mental health work stream- Barriers include:
– Stigma and self- stigma– Professional nervousness– Lack of stories and role models– Health route (not necessarily social work)
– Involuntary admission= disempowering– Certain mental health problems- feels like control isn’t possible
The map: what we did1.Initial meeting2. Really small
survey (n=4)3.Bring Your Own
Evidence (BYOE) session
4.NHS Lothian literature review
The evidence we talked about - Lived experience (user & carer)- Falkirk Mental Health Respite Vouchers Pilot
- NHS Lothian SDS Pilot- IBSEN study (mental health data only)- NHS Lothian Literature review- “Self- directed support A review of the barriers and facilitators” (2011)
- Scottish Government- Potential pieces of work (SRN, NHS Highland)
What we found…- Create accessible information, mental health and SDS.
- Don’t make stigma based assumptions about people’s ability to cope and thrive with their own budget.
- Develop strong stories, recovery and SDS, SDS possible.
- Need to know more about what happens long term.- Need the individual’s whole story from start to finish.
Human Rights work stream- Contact 4 LAs to consider some of the gateways to
SDS, including;
– Charging
– Eligibility criteria
– Resource Allocation Systems
– Assessment- ‘FAIR’ & ‘PANEL’ approaches to human rights analyses- Developed a set of recommendations
SDS: key ECHR Articles:
– Article 14 = the right to enjoy all rights in the Convention without discrimination
– Article 3 = the right not to be tortured or treated in an inhuman or degrading way
– Article 8 = the right to respect for private and family life, home and correspondence
– Article 2 = the right to life
SDS: key UNCRPD articlesArticle 19 = states must ensure that “disabled people have a right to live in the community, with the support they need and can make choices like other people do”
Other relevant UNCRPD articles = Article’s 18 & 20 on mobility, 27 on employment, 28 on an adequate standard of living & income, 29 & 30 on participation in cultural, political and civic life
What we found- Tension between adult protection/service regulations
& overly cautious approach to risks Vs HRs and empowerment, choice and control.
- Familiar balance between individual rights and risk
- Proportionate & consistent decision making in question
- Human rights are under threat in context of cuts NOT because of SDS
- Rights agenda is being eroded
What we recommend- Wide-ranging:
– Local authorities: leadership, policy & practices, guidance, clear & transparent decision-making, appeals process
– Charging: free at point of use, Commission on charging, Scottish Government to direct
Project Outputs- Final report – process and outcomes
– Learning points- Evidence framework
– Tools for collecting and analysing data- Work streams – various- Insight- Informing other developments
What next?- You?
– What evidence do you have?– What evidence could you collect?– How could you share it?
