National Strategy Implementing the legislationWho is accessing SDS?Where does Housing Support fit in?Housing support and particular needsIssues and Action points
Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 1
Priorities of Scottish Government & Cosla’s 10 Year SDS Strategy
Widened eligibility - e.g. to DPs
Co-production/ user involvement
Assessment driven by User-defined outcomes
Informed choice/ access to advice
Range of options to maximise choice
Use of Individual Budgets (I.B’s)
User control of support Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 2
The Social Care (SDS) (Scotland) Bill
Identifies 4 options for service users:1. To use a DP to arrange & fund their support
2. To identify the support they want and ask the L.A. to arrange this for them
3. To leave it up to the L.A. to make decisions
4. To combine 1-3 above in a support package. Access for all ages Children and Young People – to involve 16/17’s Older People, including those with dementia
Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 3

Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 4
Implementation - take up of SDS (DPs)
Government stats mainly cover use of DPs - though data collection is being revised
Across Scottish councils, limited but significant growth in take-up of SDS
Increased from 2001- 2009 from 207 to 3017 22% increase to 3,678 in 2010 19% increase to 4,392 by 31.03.11 15% increase to 5,049 at 31.03.12. Variations between LA areas and ongoing changes in
spend/use patterns.Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 5

Vision of Inputs to SDS Implementation in Bill
Health Involvement NHS Lothian Pilot sought to combine NHS and social care funding in
packages of support which the person directs. More extensive Health involvement in England
Housing and Housing Support (HS) Housing, housing support and allocations are recognised by SG as
playing a key role in shifting ‘the balance of care’ to ordinary living and non-institutional options.
Given changes in commissioning/ monitoring of H.S. since 2007-08 we seem to know less about its role.
Recognising this, Homeless Link (England) has collected data re housing support.
Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 8
The locus of Housing Support in the 10 Year Strategy
Section 2.6 stresses the need for a co-ordinated approach to personal and housing support Recognises personalisation and choice are core
values for housing support services
“Some people have direct payments that include funding for housing support, allowing them to take a holistic approach to arranging their personal and housing support”. (p.25)
Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 9
Value of Housing Support
Wider research has identified benefits of H.S. for Diverse support needs, including multiple/ complex Sustaining ordinary living Limiting Health and Social Care costs Preventing homelessness & institutionalisation
National Care Standards for H.S. stress importance of informed choice and person-centred approach - But less explicit on control?

?To what extent do Housing/ Housing
Support needs play a role in SDS?’
and
How far is the role of housing support in SDS recognised?
Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012
Implementation of SDS is uneven Traditional DPs viewed as bureaucratic
Mainly physical disabilities; slow take up Insufficient independent support Seen as not user-led
Test Sites – 3 Themes To reduce red-tape Leadership – culture change Investing to save - bridging finance
Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 12
SDS in Practice - Evaluation of Test Sites & Recent Update
Ridley et al, 2011
3 Test Sites Dumfries & Galloway
Used In Control method to help transform social care Community development approach to promote interest
Glasgow Built on Council’s earlier IB pilot (LD) and In Control model Tested & refined assessment and allocation processes Resolved large-scale programme – moving to mainstream Highland Focused on increasing DPs initially promoted SDS for young
disabled people By end of T-Sites all 3 resolved to mainstream SDS
Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 13
Outcomes of Test Sites at March 2011 (Ridley et al, 2011)
132 individuals in total across 3 areas Mainly people with learning disabilities – 64% More male (52%) than female (48%) Age and gender profiles varied across areas All white British/Scottish
SDS packages 107 DPs (2/3 self managed, 1/3 third party managed) 24 Individual Service Funds (ISFs)
Funding streams mainly SW + client contribution Only one T-Site reported using Housing funds (2011)
Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 14
More on SDS T-Site Outcomes
Support – found SDS increased flexibility and choice Outcomes - broadly high satisfaction Leadership – all sites developed special teams, infra-
structure (IT), systems and targeted funding for SDS Training – not all staff had received this Bureaucracy – high focus on systems Bridging finance – found useful for infrastructure Development - slow progress, but gathered speed.
Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 15
Limited Findings re role of Housing Support
SDS evaluation sought information on housing (and health) contributions to individual SDS packages
Although housing support was referred to in relation to some packages, overall gained little information on specific housing support funding Follow Up study did not clarify this further It may be that H.S. is subsumed under outreach social support
Is there a case for more focused monitoring; case profiles to clarify/ highlight housing support?
Seminar Participants’ experience?
Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 18
Implications for housing/ HS from case studies
Case studies carried out as part of original Test Site study indicated role for housing/ HS: left long-stay hospital care or children’s services new needs – adaptations, equipment, support moving from shared to independent housing accessed supported accommodation flexible support enabled positive community living
Examples of SDS assessment highlighting housing/ H.S. needs and being a catalyst to housing gains.
Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 19
?What are the lessons and implications for
housing support of SDS experience to date?’
Is there a case for monitoring and clarification of the role of housing support in SDS? If so, why needed now?
Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012
SDS, housing support and Particular Needs Up-To-Us Initiatives
RSL tenants, advocacy orgs & providers enabled to jointly purchase support – (funded by DOH, Comm’s & Local Gov)
SDS for older people, including dementia to date use of DPs has been limited, though O.P. have increasingly
accessed housing support. SDS for Homeless people is being trialled
4 Pilots – England – Personalisation for rough sleepers Some providers are personalising services (Hough/Rice, 2010).
Mental health – slower development than in England. Need to monitor and build on experience of outcomes.
Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 20

‘Should SDS go beyond traditional housing support to cover housing issues?’

‘Should SDS go beyond traditional housing support to cover housing issues?’
Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012
Opportunity to Innovate
Personalisation is ongoing – we are at an early stage but there is a gathering momentum of change
SDS requires and encourages innovation - options to explore may include: Shared service models e.g. HACT; social networks; using
budgets for joint activities and resources Restructuring and small-scale additions to people’s
support to meet individual wants and needs Listening hard to people about what might make a
difference and collaborating to target support plan Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 22
Housing Support and Homelessness
Evaluations and wider research stress the key role of H.S. in tackling homelessness Influenced new duty to assess H.S. needs and provide support where
there is a duty to secure settled accommodation
“To ensure that H.S. services are provided to those assessed as being in need” and assess if “any other person residing with the applicant” needs housing support . (Housing(Scot) Act 2010 s.158)
SG consulted on the Duty, issued a Business Regulatory Impact Assessment (2.11.12) and Parliament has approved Regulations
Final Reg’s approved 27.11.12 - 4 broad types of H.S. – with Finances; Accessing sources of support; Advising/ assisting re Housing Rights/ Responsibilities; Resettlement support
Regs will be enforced on 1st June 2013.Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 23
Influences on continuing or increasing demand for H.S. Perfect storm of benefits changes – Will this increase
homelessness & related advice/ support needs, despite recent decline due to impact of H.Options/ Prevention?
New LA duty to assess H.S. needs for homeless applicants. Will this increase demand for H.S?; change routes of access? Enable access to SDS for some?
Sustainability issues facing providers in context of changing environment may impact on agency level demand for H-S
Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 24
Implications of personalisation / SDS for Housing Support
Commissioning strategies and inspections may increasingly check how far existing H-S services are personalised and homes are accessible
Providers could usefully look afresh at their systems/ processes. How far do assessment & support planning focus on assets, not deficits? How far do they involve co-production?
Guidance - Homeless Link - useful guidance with tools and information. Suggests SDS can address complex needs better because starts from person’s views and situation. Also there is a wider range of general and specific guidance, e.g. Alzheimers Scotland.
SDS assessment - Self-assessment/ evaluation systems should identify/ address housing support needs and required resources clearly
SDS monitoring – Should clarify the extent to which there is a Housing Support element in support packages and what form this takes.
Housing standards and choice: Joint planning is needed to ensure that people have access to a range of accessible housing
Dr Ann Rosengard December 2012 25
?
What challenges are faced by providers where H.S. needs are temporary and require a flexible response, e.g resettlement/ move on support?

Personalisation is defined as a process that :
“… Enables the individual alone, or in groups, to find the right solution for them and to participate in the delivery of a service. From being a recipient of services, citizens can become actively involved in selecting and shaping the services they receive.”
The Scottish Government 2009
(Changing Lives Report)
Self Directed Support (SDS)• SDS enables the people we work for to choose how their
support is provided to them by enabling each individual to have as much control as they want over the individual allocated budget and their support arrangements.
• SDS is therefore the support each individual purchases or arranges to meet agreed health and social care needs.
• SDS can be used in many ways. Individuals can have their support within their home, to go to college or to pursue community leisure activities rather than going to a day centre.
• Individuals who receive services can choose whether to purchase support from any Care Provider. They can also choose to employ a personal assistant (PA), using a range of options.
Promoting 4 Choices
• Option 1 – Direct Payments. (a cash payment)
• Option 2 – Individual Service Fund (the council holds the budget but the person is involved in how the money is spent)
• Option 3 – The local authority arranges a service for the supported person
• Option 4 – A mixture of the above
Outcomes Focused Planning
The impact or effect or consequence of help received on a person’s life
•Involving the person in identifying the goals they want to work towards – flexibility, choice and control

Personalisation
3000% rise in no of service users who use Direct Payments
36% of service users in Edinburgh use Direct Payments, smaller no’s in Midlothian and Fife.
Increase in Edinburgh largely associated with the tendering of care at home/housing support services for people with learning disability, mental health problems, physical disability and hearing impairment in 2009.
The positives!
Wider marketAble to be more creative in approachService users have more control, less
uncertaintyNo significant decrease in service users,
only 1 has chosen to go to another provider.
The negatives!
Flexibility and control can be limited.Lack of focus on outcomes.Difficult for individuals to access Direct
Payments, particularly those not already receiving a service.
Management of arrears and debt recovery.
