Wider context…
Any ‘New Thing’ must demonstrate sustainability in three areas:
• ECONOMIC
• ENVIRONMENTAL
• SOCIAL
The 'Triple Bottom Line'
![Page 3: Relational Practice Model · •Education –learning environments all need to be developed on the basis of the connection between relational health and effective learning •Environment](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022043007/5f95c3fd07083f6e176b8300/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Today:
• Why a model?
• What is relational practice?
• How to apply it
• Where to apply it – short and long-term
• Making it happen – a ‘relational practice movement’
• What next?

Why do we need a model?
Currently, narrow industrialised models of therapeutic interventions ignore many factors in the wider system, including the need to take a broader approach to the complexity of relational working.
The powerful effect of managerialism and market competitiveness all combine to produce a milieu in which human values and relationships are not explicitly prioritised.
It is our hypothesis that the experience of public services is increasingly impoverished and alienating for those providing or receiving them. We all face the risk of losing our capacity to maintain a relational basis to our work, without a clearly articulated underlying model.
We need agreement about this so that new practice strategies and systems are developed to counteract it.
…if you disagree with this, you may be in the wrong room!

The Relational Field

Hopes for this model
• Extends the baseline understanding and conceptual rationale for service interventions in public services, based on explicit theories of causation and need, using established evidence, research and innovative investigation: it should help to inform public policy and strategy
• Gives a ‘whole-person / whole-life’ perspective on disease / distress / disability that a simple disease model cannot address: it will help clinicians and researchers to understand how they might relate to, and collaborate with, other relevant areas
• Makes complex ideas of ‘human development’ accessible across disciplinary borders, and to the general public: it can identify, and perhaps prevent, problems of over-specialisation and fragmentation of services

Relational practice – what is it?
Relational Practice is a way of working whereestablishing and maintaining a helpful interpersonal relationship is the priority.
It requires: • flexibility, adaptability and willingness• an understanding of the inner and outer lives of
individuals in the social field• an enabling and facilitating attitude in developing our
relational behaviour
…only a first attempt at a definition!

Relational practice – what it is for
• To facilitate the normal development of psychosocial life
• To join the personal and the social at all levels in all domains
• To enable professional work to be based on better knowledge and understanding of essential relational skills
• To counter the dehumanising effect of mechanistic practice

Big Picture Applications – 10 year vision
• Health and Social Care - policy commitment for all professionals to be trained in model and relational practice
• Criminal Justice – extension and expansion of the principles of OPDP; establishment of joint health and criminal justice operations; psychosocial prisons and prison reform
• Housing & Homelessness – the role of community and belongingness in housing and community development
• Education – learning environments all need to be developed on the basis of the connection between relational health and effective learning
• Environment – policy commitment linking personal choice and expectation to climate recovery
• Wider community applications – transition projects
