This document discusses changes to the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) in the UK. It provides background on what DFG is, how the typical application process works, and some key facts about eligibility and timelines. It then outlines how DFG funding and regulations have changed since 2008, giving local authorities more flexibility to develop their own policies. While this flexibility was meant to improve delivery, nearly half of authorities still use the original forms and many do not have their own policies. The document concludes by advocating for inspiring change through collaboration between stakeholders to develop common quality standards and champion adaptations.

Zoe Charlesworth talked about Mitigating the Impact of Welfare Reform at HouseMark Scotland's Welfare Reform event in Edinburgh recently.
Together with our client, Your Homes Newcastle, Zoe gave practical examples of how housing associations we work with are supporting their low income households as the welfare reform programme continues to roll out. Her presentation was structured around 3 central themes, namely who organisations should target, what support is needed and how support is delivered.
Zoe said "It was evident from the discussions around the table that monthly income issues are a big concern for housing associations. The new Universal Credit monthly income calendar function in our Benefit and Budgeting Calculator, an idea suggested by one of our housing association clients, received high praise."

How to eat an elephant one bite at a time - presentation ACSWA 2015 conferenc...Louise Forster
Let’s throw traditional on its head, we are now in a new environment where we are all readjusting and learning. It’s about pushing aside what we used to do and making room for the new era of involving consumers in what we do. Utilising the principles of co-production with organisations, consumers and stakeholders we designed an exciting, fun and engaging programme. Co-designing materials allowed us to achieve better results by drawing on the expertise of the people and professionals that matter and producing training materials that are relevant to them. We want to share with you our learnings on this project that CommunityWest developed for COTA Australia.
It’s a series of training modules that support advisers to embrace working within a consumer directed care (CDC) model. The training uses innovative models, and revolves around 12 different videos (including consumer conversations, insights from consumers, advisers, subject matter experts, humour and reflection).
We asked the sector what CDC topic they found most difficult to discuss with consumers. Out of the 41 organisations that responded, results showed that 70% said budgets, 20% new types of support.
This training gives advisers real examples that enable them to embrace the thinking, skills and practice (TSP) for transitioning to a CDC model. We’re able to demonstrate how an organisation can go about the fundamental shifts needed for CDC by promoting choice and control through constructive conversations.

It discusses the bill's proposals to devolve power to general practitioner-led clinical groups and local authorities while establishing an independent NHS commissioning board. It also notes implications for practice nursing, including threats to nursing leadership and specialist posts in the short term, but potential opportunities if nurses seize new roles and influence policy development.
Role of Community Matrons in shifts in settings of care Care City
The document discusses the political context driving healthcare reforms in the UK and the expected shift toward more community-based care delivery away from hospitals. Community matrons and practice nurses can contribute to this shift by participating in whole-systems approaches, sharing knowledge and best practices, and participating in ongoing service redesign. The new model of care should focus on prevention, self-care, coordination, and consistent high-quality care both in specialist and community settings through greater integration between primary and secondary care teams.
1) There are myths about innovation diffusion that are not entirely accurate. For example, the idea that the public sector is not innovative when in reality public sector innovation tends to stay local.
2) The document discusses 5 myths and their corresponding realities about innovation diffusion. One myth is that diffusion is just an informational problem, but the reality is that diffusion requires organizational and behavioral changes.
3) Another myth is that innovation and diffusion are separate sequential processes, but the reality is that they are intertwined in a process of "innofusion" that is social and iterative from the outset.
The document discusses different types of networks that can be used to sustain opportunities for normal birth, including helping and sharing networks, best practice networks, and innovation networks. It provides the example of the Pan London ICU Network, where ICU practitioners voluntarily meet every two months to share best practices and advice, improving ICU care across London. It poses questions about how a Normal Birth network could be run, what the leadership partnership might look like, how long the tenure for leaders would be, and how they would be selected.
The document discusses the importance of measuring performance to drive improvement. It outlines a 7-step process for establishing effective measurement: 1) decide the aim, 2) choose measures, 3) define measures, 4) collect data, 5) analyze and present data, 6) review measures, and 7) take action on results. Key points include measuring outcomes and processes, collecting consistent data, analyzing variation over time through run charts, and using measurement to identify improvement opportunities.
The document discusses the opening of an early labour lounge at a local hospital to improve the user experience for women in early labour. Key issues with the previous antenatal ward included poor user experience, environment, and staff attitude. The new early labour lounge provides a more comfortable and private space for women in early labour to help support normal birth. User feedback on the new lounge has been positive, with improved survey results and fewer complaints about staff attitude.
An audit was conducted of outpatient inductions of labor (IOL) compared to inpatient IOLs between February and March 2010. Out of 65 total IOLs, 16 were conducted on an outpatient basis. Women who underwent outpatient IOL had similar fetal and maternal outcomes as those who had inpatient IOLs. Outpatient IOL allows low-risk women to stay with their families and keeps hospital beds available for higher-risk deliveries while maintaining normalcy of birth. The process involves community midwives offering membrane sweeps starting at 40 weeks and arranging outpatient IOL appointments.

One Planet Regions works with businesses, communities, and councils to establish flagship sustainability projects. They partner with Sutton and Middlesbrough councils to create exemplars of sustainability that others can learn from and replicate. The projects focus on 10 principles including zero carbon, zero waste, sustainable transport, materials, food, water, land use, and building a strong local economy and culture. Success is measured through outcomes like carbon savings, community participation, and winning awards that recognize leadership in sustainability. The biggest challenges are understanding varying council needs, maintaining momentum amid budget cuts, and addressing the wide scope of sustainability issues. Support is needed through dialogue with councils and networks to spread ideas and tools to additional local authorities.

The document discusses promoting a healthier lifestyle through the use of bicycles, both recycled and new, as a means of transportation and leisure activity. This aims to preserve the environment, encourage healthier lifestyles, and promote recycling and reuse. Key benefits include healthier and more active people, increased reuse of discarded bicycles, and assistance towards self-sustainability through the sale of new cycles. Challenges include balancing social and financial objectives, keeping up with demand, and balancing innovation with financial needs. Support could include more contractual work, procurement opportunities, and a higher street presence.
The document discusses tools to help small and medium businesses measure and improve their environmental impact and reduce costs. These include Green Accord for supplier accreditation, Carbon Tracker to measure utilities and carbon, and EMS Easy which is a simple environmental management system. The tools provide social, financial and environmental benefits by increasing EMS adoption, strengthening supplier relationships, and reducing carbon emissions. Success is measured by lower costs, reduced carbon, and more environmental advocates across the supply chain. Key challenges include identifying public sector partners and overcoming barriers to adoption, while support is needed to engage stakeholders, build on the project, and find early adopters.

This results in total workforce responsibility for the environment and real business improvements like reduced carbon emissions and operating costs.
