Providing services for those with complex and multiple needs - the socially excluded adults PSA Ann Watt Deputy Director, Social Exclusion Task Force Chaotic lives conference, Thursday 22 November 2007

Social Exclusion Task Force Based in Cabinet Office Successor to Social Exclusion Unit Working across government departments Evidence based Consults widely with service users and service providers

Social Exclusion Task Force - aim “To extend opportunity to the least advantaged so that they enjoy more of the choices, chances and power that the rest of society takes for granted.” Much has been achieved, for example through investment in public services, tax and benefit change, national minimum wage But most vulnerable individuals and families still need intensive support to get their lives back on track

Current work programme Adults New Public Service Agreement on socially excluded adults Adults facing Chronic Exclusion (ACE) pilots Children and families Families at Risk Review and pathfinders Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) pilots Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST) pilots Research New analysis of social exclusion over the life course

12 pilots launched in June 2007 with three years’ funding (£6 million) ACE pilots - overview 12 pilots launched in June 2007 with three years’ funding (£6 million) Aim is to test new approaches to tackling chronic exclusion amongst marginalised groups Led by public and third sector organisations, often working in partnership Three main themes: Systems change – simplifying the complexity of several services working together Transitions – helping people get through difficult times in life Systems navigation – helping people access several services at once National evaluation to learn lessons

ACE pilots - examples NOAH (Luton) – support workers will help clients engage with services to address their range of needs eg substance misuse, housing, employment MCCH Autism (Kent) – individual support, mentoring and advocacy for adults with learning disabilities, autism or mental health problems to help them access services. Aims to help them towards employment Tyneside Cyrenians (Newcastle) – using day and night outreach to engage rough sleepers, sex workers and other excluded adults. Providing single entry point for range of support

Public Service Agreements – an overview Public Service Agreements are the Government’s top delivery priorities They are commitments to improve outcomes, eg Raise the educational attainment of all children and young people Promote better health and wellbeing for all Make communities safer Based on indicators with regular public reporting and scrutiny Responsibility cuts across a number of government departments 30 new PSAs announced in the Comprehensive Spending Review in October 2007

New socially excluded adults PSA The aim of the PSA is to ensure that the most socially excluded adults are offered the chance to get back on a path to a more successful life, by increasing the proportion of the most socially excluded adults in settled accommodation and in employment, education or training. The PSA: is one of only 30 PSAs agreed across Government is the first PSA that focussed specifically on the needs of the most vulnerable adults will be delivered by both the statutory and third sector

What does the socially excluded adults PSA focus on? Which at-risk groups? adults (young people aged 19) leaving care adult offenders (aged 18+) under probation supervision adults (aged 18+) in contact with secondary mental health services adults (aged 18+) with moderate to severe learning disabilities Why these outcomes / groups? A home and a job are the key aspects of normal, everyday life that all individuals should be able to aspire to They provide excluded adults with the foundations for getting their life back on track There is no composite measure of social exclusion, so we have to define it using a set of other indicators Because there is an opportunity to make a difference with these groups - they are at crucial transition points in life that bring them in to contact with services, so they are within reach All of these transition points are life events which affect those in significant difficulty: Over 30% of care leavers are not in education, employment or training at age 19, compared to 13% of all young people a third of prisoners about to leave prison said they had nowhere to stay 70,000 people with severe mental health problems are on incapacity benefit 10% of people with learning disabilities in touch with services are doing any form of paid work

How will this PSA help? Encourage prevention and early intervention, by focusing on transition points when individuals can be helped to avoid long-term exclusion Promote joint working, by setting out a shared cross-Government commitment to tackling exclusion Focus resources, by sending a clear signal that helping these groups is a Government priority Incentivise and drive delivery, through a clear performance management framework for tackling social exclusion amongst adults and for monitoring and managing progress Taking a step back, we should look first at why we need this PSA and what value it will add. You can see from the vision box that we are looking at two main outcomes (more on this in the next slide) – being in employment, education and training; and stable and secure accommodation with support to live independently. How will having this PSA add value? Evidence is that we are failing the most disadvantaged groups in many cases. For example, their complexity of problems means that they fall between different service providers; their problems aren’t addressed in a cross-cutting way; they fall so far below the average that often there is little incentive within in the current target framework to meet their needs. PSA would be a tool to ensure that the needs of socially excluded adults are addressed through incentivising, for example, early intervention, joint working or more appropriate forms of service delivery.

What numbers of people are involved? Client Group Latest Available Data Estimated Size of Group Outcome 1: Settled Accommodation Outcome 2: Employment Care Leavers 2005/6 5300 88% (4600) 62% (3300) Offenders 2006/7 55,408 77% (42,664) 35% (19,393) Mentally Ill 2004/5 464,780* N/A 21%** Learning Disabled 122,155 69%*** (83,918) 10% (12,095) *364,760 on standard CPA + 120,730 on enhanced CPA **proxy data from HCC survey of community mental health services *** proxy data on % living in the community and receiving services

Who will deliver the PSA? Central Government level Cabinet Office (lead department) DWP CLG Ministry of Justice DH DCSF DIUS Local level local authorities (particularly housing services, adult social services and leaving care services) Jobcentre Plus PCTs Mental Health Trusts Probation services Third sector Local employers

Local Area Agreements – an overview new arrangements for Local Area Agreements (LAAs) from April 2008, following Local Government White Paper LAAs are about improving local services and increasing economic prosperity for local people Three year agreements about priorities for the area Agreed between all the main public sector agencies working in the area and central government Partners brought together under the umbrella of the Local Strategic Partnership Local areas will report on all 198 indicators in National Indicator Set Of these 198 indicators, new LAAs will include up to 35 targets for each area

Prioritising socially excluded adults within Local Area Agreements The new National Indicator Set: The eight performance indicators for the PSA are included in the new National Indicator Set for local government (NIS) Local authorities will report therefore annually on each of the indicators as part of the Comprehensive Area Assessment Local Area Agreements: The new National Indicator Set forms the basis of the new model Local Area Agreements Local areas will be able to prioritise excluded adults by including one or more of the PSA indicators as LAA improvement targets. In developing LAA priorities, LSPs are encouraged to: assess how the PSA priorities fit with the vision and the ambition of the area; consider the wider benefits of focusing on excluded adults; review the existing evidence base and patterns of performance; and build on the existing knowledge of both LSPs and GOs on key areas for improvement

Why focus on excluded adults at local level? Prioritising the PSA outcomes can: Contribute to the achievement of wider priority outcomes, such as reducing reoffending and tackling worklessness Provide a strong impetus for improved joint working with service providers such as probation and mental health trusts, and with the third sector Lead to significant savings in the downstream costs associated with long-term and persistent exclusion Support improved community cohesion by addressing the negative external effects of a small number of highly excluded individuals

Linking the social exclusion PSA to other priorities

Identifying key priorities: Baseline regional data Important that LAA negotiations are built around a shared evidence base PSA includes new performance indicators so SETF have collated existing data on each of the client groups The regional data packs identify current patterns of performance and provide a starting point for LSPs to consider whether a focus on any of the PSA groups / outcomes should be reflected in LAAs Client group Settled Accommodation EET Offenders Proportion of offenders under probation supervision in settled and suitable accommodation at the end of their order or licence Proportion of offenders under probation supervision in employment at the end of their order or licence Care leavers Proportion of former care leavers aged 19 who are in suitable accommodation Proportion of former care leavers aged 19 who are in employment, education or training Adults with mental health problems Proportion of adults in contact with secondary mental health services in settled accommodation Proportion of adults in contact with secondary mental health services in employment Adults with learning disabilities Proportion of adults with learning disabilities in settled accommodation Proportion of adults with learning disabilities in employment

Headline regional data: Care leavers in EET and suitable accommodation at age 19 (2005/06)

Next steps to support the delivery of the socially excluded adults PSA The SETF will continue to support the delivery of the PSA through: Workshops in each region of the country to explain the PSA Guidance for Government Offices and local areas Baseline data-pack to help local areas identify key priorities around social exclusion Providing ongoing advice and support for local areas and service providers Working with other government departments to address policy sticking points that make supporting socially excluded adults more difficult For more information on the PSA please contact: setaskforce@cabinet-office.x.gsi.gov.uk
