14 We need your help! To develop and establish in more detail and at a local level: What is the target state for information and IT enablement and what are the steps along the way that we must prioritise – what would success look like for citizens and how must we change to deliver? For each organisation; where we are now and what must we do first, second... and so on To develop a social care/local government digital maturity model that embraces variation and innovation

15 Discussion Would a social care informatics and digital maturity index/ road map be useful? If it was developed, initial views about what a social care informatics maturity index and road map would look like: Simple/ complex? Formal,informal? Transparency? How could such a toolkit and be owned and adopted across England effectively? If it isn’t a good idea, what other ideas could be looked at for improving and standardising information across social care?
