Says that day services should be community services that involve service users
in delivery

A Shared vision to transform adult care services

people

problem at some point in their life

10. Why we need to change:
□ We cannot always demonstrate that people are
supported to recovery
□ Some groups feel excluded
□ Our system is not fair to everyone – some people
receive duplicate services, others have to wait to
receive services
□ Services across Leeds are not well co-ordinated

11. Recent developments :
□ Service user reviews/consultations took place during
2011
□ Staff events held in December 2011 and May 2012
□ The Mental Health Advisory Board have been meeting
regularly
□ The Progress Group have been meeting regularly
□ Initial briefings around Charging Review
□ Visits to co-located services
□ Establishment of The Panel

12. Recent developments :
□ Involvement & Engagement Strategy
□ Dedicated development officers
□ Revised support and risk management plans –
Outcomes Star
□ Service reviews

13. The proposed model:
□ Safe spaces/Peer support
□ Staff led recovery groups
□ User led recovery groups
□ One to one support
□ Support pathways through the acute services
□ Signposting to other services

14. We also need to:
□ Involve the people who use services more
□ Work in partnership with others
□ Enable better access to information
□ Support people to access mainstream services
wherever possible
□ Consider the needs of carers, families and young
people

15. Asset Bases:
□ Lovell Park – a central ‘hub’
A welcoming multi purpose space, co-working and
hosting with other Agencies, office base, safe space,
group space/meeting space, drop-in social space,
information source, links to other facilities
□ Stocks Hill – share the space with health
colleagues/voluntary sector colleagues
□ The Vale – seek alternative base/s in the South of
the City

users and those most in need in the city
□ ‘Better Lives’ for people - A more personalised
approach
□ More flexible service
□ A greater emphasis around ‘Recovery’
□ A positive experience from the service

model with all stakeholders

service users, staff, leadership team and members
