‘Connect’: Integrated Teams Current pressures include a decrease in funding combined with both an increased demand from service users and increased public expectations of what can or should be delivered. The aims are: People living happier and more independent lives People feeling more in control of their lives People being more informed and taking personal responsibility for their health and social care Stronger communities and networks Which will result in: Reduce unnecessary hospital admissions Reduce admissions to care homes Mean that fewer children will need child protection plans Reduce crime and anti-social behaviour See a reduction in homelessness Reduce drug, alcohol and substance abuse and dependence

Neighbourhood Networks Neighbourhood Networks are unique to the needs of communities. Made up of community groups, voluntary sector organisations, shops, GP practices and community pharmacies. Can also include someone’s friends, family, colleagues and anyone else they feel supported by.

Integrated Neighbourhood Teams Consists of staff from different teams/ professions: social care for adults and children/families, health, police, mental health, district and borough teams, along with the voluntary sector. Remain employed by their own organisation but have regular multi agency meetings to discuss individual cases for effective resolution, case management and demand reduction.

Workshops

Given a reduced budget, what are you prepared to see the police do less of? What do you think should be the top priority of the police? Commitments to meetings will have to change – how can we communicate differently with you in the future?
