6. Everyone including new customers offered Personal Budgets

• All new customers and those being reviewed are being offered Personal Budgets, resulting in an increase in the number of people receiving their own Personal Budget.

6. Have quality and performance standards

• The Peer Review Programme is being developed. People with LD will be reviewing services from April 2014.

• These peer reviewers are to be built in to the contract monitoring process – so people with LD will have a say in which services are performing the best, and areas where they could improve.

Transitions – update

• There is a project underway to develop a Transition pathway which will take into account new legislation and local priorities. The project will give progress reports to the Learning Disabilities Partnership Board.

Transitions - update

• An important aspect of the Transition Project is to ensure that the Serious Case Review recommendations are within the new policy and procedures.

• The Transition pathway will also include Quality Assurance measures to ensure that young people’s experience of transition and outcomes are improved. Key performance indicators will be set and monitored, so that success can be measured.

Feedback on the Quality Assurance Panel

• A new panel has been set up in the Learning Disability Team so that assessed needs can be met and better outcomes achieved for customers, their family and carers.

Feedback on the Quality Assurance Panel

• The Panel will sit every week and care managers will present their assessments of customers’ needs. The panel will make suggestions about the options available to meet individual needs in the best value way.

• Once the panel has approved the assessment, the care manager will then revisit the customer, and assist with the development of a support plan. Advice will be given on personalised budgets

Feedback on the Quality Assurance Panel

• The Adults Disability Quality Assurance Panel Terms of Reference and Procedures have been finalised, following a period of consultation with staff. Carer feedback about Panel decision-making has helped to improve processes.

• Customer satisfaction surveys and Quality Assurance audits are an essential part of the new Panel procedure, so that we can measure that needs are being met and better outcomes achieved.
