Careif compassion and care series 1
In Conversation with Compassion and Care
Concern to ensure compassion and empathy are core experiences in care services are now a priority following appalling scandals in care homes and hospital settings. Of course, at a time of economic austerity and threats to health and social services, caring about those in socially excluded groups seems to be less of a priority for governments, national and local. Improving the health and wellbeing of the population at large is one approach to this that is creating a more compassionate and caring society, within which all citizens can expect fair treatment and supportive concern when they face hard times.
However, these aspirations then beg the question, why do we not have compassionate care in care services, and why is society no longer, or no more compassionate. This series of short essays from experts is refreshing and thought provoking. There is depth in the experiences that are shared, some intimate some heartbreaking. careif is planning to provoke more conversations in compassion and care, so please share with others and send your views/essays to enquiries@careif.org

MINDS HUB - One-Stop Touchpoint for Persons with Disabilities
An estimated up to 80% adult persons with disabilities (PWDs) / persons with intellectual disabilities (PWIDs) in Singapore may be undiagnosed or unserved, and are not attending regular services.
This results in deteriorating conditions and ultimately a pre-mature need for PWD/PWIDs to be kept in residential institutions. It is important to keep PWIDs in the community, as placing them in homes or institutionalised facilities will only further deteriorate their conditions, and isolate them from the community.
There is also a significant mental, emotional and physical strain on caregivers who have to manage the challenges that come with caregiving for aging PWDs/PWIDs.
To address this, MINDS Hub offers an array of healthcare and social support services all under one roof. Located in the heartlands of Singapore, MINDS Hub ensures PWDs/PWIDs and their families have more support closer to their homes, enabling them to participate actively in the community and to live independently.

This document summarizes a feasibility study on using predictive models with linked health and social care data to identify individuals at high risk of future social care needs. The study found that routine data can be used to build predictive models, though data linkage across systems is challenging due to issues like missing NHS numbers in social care data. Models were able to moderately predict individuals over 75 at risk of entering residential care or having over £5,000 in social care costs within a year, with room for improvement in predictive values. The study demonstrated the potential for predictive modeling but also limitations of current data systems.

The document discusses impact reporting and how to make annual reports effective for organizations. It defines impact as the difference an organization makes and how the world would look without the organization. Impact can be both positive and negative, planned or unplanned, and affect various stakeholder groups.

Trustees avoiding liability
Trustees have legal duties to ensure their charity operates for public benefit, follows its governing documents and the law, acts in the charity's best interests, manages resources responsibly, and acts with reasonable care and skill.

To reduce liability risks, trustees should understand their responsibilities, ensure the charity can meet financial obligations, implement effective controls, comply with other laws, and maintain records of decisions. Trustees must make decisions within their powers, in good faith and the charity's interests, be sufficiently informed, consider all factors, manage conflicts, and make reasonable judgments.
