Putting People First
‘Putting People First’ in Lincolnshire is a programme of change that will have a major impact on the support and services that the people of Lincolnshire can expect from a wide range of service providers, including Adult Social Care.
Through our Visioning work, with the people of Lincolnshire, we have demonstrated our commitment to involve and be accountable for the services we and our partners provide.
The shared vision and commitment which is at the heart of Putting People First will directly impact upon services being provided for individuals and communities. The cornerstone of these changes is the development of personalised services.
The ‘Personalisation’ agenda is one of the most significant changes to social care services for many years, its aim is to put people in control of their assessment and the support they require to live their lives. An important component of which is Individual Budgets
We are now translating the work we have been involved in as a pilot site for Individual Budgets into a practical reflection of how the Putting People First and Personalisation approaches will be provided throughout Lincolnshire.
The initial phase of the changes people will see and experience over the next three years will be through closer working together of service agencies, local government and the public sector, which is guided and informed by Local Area Agreements.
Adult Social Care as part of that agreement will be developing services within three key areas of work, ‘prevention’, ‘managing crisis and reablement’ and ‘maintenance’.
The attachments under the downloads section on the right of this page will be added to over the course of the next two years in order to provide more information about Putting People First in Lincolnshire as it develops.
