AHWB/067/2017 - Transforming Care Partnership Social Worker
Decision Maker: Director of Adults, Health and Well-Being
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
Since the publication of the Department of
Health documentation Transforming care, 'A national response to
Winterbourne View Hospital' in , all of the CCGs have established a
programme of work to reduce the number of local people with a
learning disability and/or autism in hospital placements.
Decision:
Approval of 12 month fixed term contract for
the TCP Social Worker.
Alternative options considered:
Current capacity within the Community Team
learning Disability does not facilitate the level of involvement
required to provide holistic and dedicated support to meet the
transforming care ambitions. There is a risk to the local authority
which has shared responsibility under S117 legislation if social
care assessments are not embedded within this process.
