RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That the
Adult Health and Social Care Policy Committee:-

 

 

·      
Agrees to the co-design and co-production of a broad
partnership-based Adult’s Prevention and Early Intervention
Strategy that will detail how the Care Act 2014 duties to
‘prevent’, ‘reduce’ and ‘delay’
the onset of social care needs is achieved across the Local
Authority and its partners.

·      
Note the success of Sheffield Directory and the increased
accessibility elements of the site and endorse the development of
self-assessment.

·      
Agree to the development of the early help ‘Bridging
Service’ linking First Contact’s 'Make A Call - Take A
Call’ (MACTAC) service to Communities’ ‘Team
Around the Person’ (TAP) service, detailed in Appendix 2.

·      
Note the ongoing development and implementation of Technology
Enabled Care (TEC) as a key enabler of our approach.

provides the Committee with updates on progress against the
Delivery Plan on a 6 monthly basis

 

 

9.3

Reasons for
Decision

 

 

9.3.1
 

The proposals represent the best way forward
to develop partnerships, deliver effective information, advice, and
guidance, and support early intervention and prevention across the
city, whilst also enabling delivery of social care resources to the
priority areas, and supporting people in the local community.

 

 

9.4

Alternatives
Considered and Rejected

 

 

9.4.1
 
 
 

Do nothing: It would be possible not to
produce a plan in relation to early intervention and prevention
– but it would mean any activity would lack focus, coherence,
and public accountability.
