At Attenti, we are always exploring opportunities to utilise technology to improve care services. We are excited to see local authorities are doing the same with AI. But even though AI has exciting potential to streamline administrative tasks in social work, regulation is crucial. https://buff.ly/3NoiiJf As highlighted in the recent Community Care article, tools like Magic Notes and Microsoft’s Copilot are being tested in UK councils to reduce time spent on case notes. However, concerns around data privacy, bias, and ethical implications remain. Sector bodies, including BASW and the Social Workers Union, call for a regulatory framework to protect both practitioners and the vulnerable individuals they support. Striking a balance between innovation and safeguarding human rights is key.

Investing in prevention is the way forward for Health and Social Care. We're encouraged by recent discussions from health ministers pushing for increased Treasury funding for prevention projects, which aligns with our focus at Attenti in assisting local authorities with building an informed and sustainable prevention strategy. https://buff.ly/3ZSW6yr Investing in early intervention not only alleviates pressure on social care services but also fosters healthier, more resilient communities by identifying those who would benefit from early support. We believe in a proactive, person-centered approach that will prevent the rise of complex cases by addressing issues before they arise.

This is a big step for care leavers. We welcome the government’s decision to exempt care leavers up to 25 years of age from local connection rules when applying for social housing. This critical policy shift was promised in the children's social care strategy, Stable Homes, Built on Love, and aims to reduce homelessness and offer much-needed stability to care experienced individuals. It’s a significant victory, but the work continues.

How do we Deliver the Difference? Bilal Hussain, one of our brilliant Social Workers, shares his experience working on two of our programmes with Shyam Vinchhi, a programme coordinator.

We couldn't have said it better ourselves. One-word assessments can oversimplify the complexities of Children's Social Care and does providers a great disservice, as it does not reflect a true measurement of their value and performance. It only shows a small part of the picture.

Despite the number of DoLS applications received being up 11% in 2023-24, council teams managed to process a record 323,870 cases, an increase of 12% in 2023-24. In addition to this, the timeframes for which cases remain open have decreased and the number of uncompleted applications have also been reduced. "While the average duration of cases remained well above the 21-day statutory timeframe for standard DoLS applications, it fell from 156 to 144 days from 2022-23 to 2023-24. And the number of uncompleted applications at 31 March 2024 fell by 2% year on year, from 126,100 to 123,790." https://buff.ly/4cC3roN Great to see the industry moving in a positive direction! ✅ If you would like to learn about how Attenti can assist you with your DoLS services, reach out to Betty Lu at betty.lu@attenti-consulting.co.uk. #UKsocialcare #socialcare #DoLS #mentalcapacity

Attenti will be hosting a FREE webinar soon and would like to hear from our network! What would you be most interested in hearing about?

They will share their wins, challenges, the resulting cost savings, and how other local authorities can implement these changes. 1. Integrated care and collaboration across system leaders 2. Implementing a patch-based model of care with providers 3. Reducing wait times for emergency care Let us know your thoughts! #uksocialcare #adultsocialcare #healthandsocialcare #integratedcare #providercare #emergencycare

From the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) Spring Survey and partner briefing, we understand that there is a desire among Directors to focus more on preventative services to stop issues from escalating early on. However, only 29% are strategically investing in this. We offer a way for councils to develop and implement this strategy without putting a strain on limited resources and budgets, allowing for teams to concentrate on the increasing number of complex cases that arise. Let us discuss how we can support you in bolstering your preventative strategy and increasing the identification of those who would benefit from early support. By taking a more proactive approach, this will create a sustainable long-term solution by addressing these issues at the source. If you are interested in exploring possible ways to invest in positive change, contact Betty Lu at betty.lu@attenti-consulting.co.uk to arrange a chat. #preventativeservices #socialcare #socialcareprevention
