AHWB/075/2017 - Funding to appoint an agency worker for 2 months to support DCST in drawing through PBR Claims evidence

Decision Maker: Director of People

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

DCST should be the main provider of claims for SF PbR, however the capacity within the organisation is such that there is a need to prototype an initiative providing business support to Managers, to draw out the relevant information and evidence in order to submit claims to DCLG for PbR.

Decision:

To fund an agency Business Support worker to undertake a support role with managers in Parenting and Family Support within DCST. Note the post will be recruited by and managed by Doncaster Children's Services Trust (DCST), as part of their processes in delivering Stronger Families programme outcomes. This post will test out the proposition that this is the required support needed to enable evidence to support Payment by Results (PBR) claims, to be completed and fed to DMBC Strategy Performance Unit (SPU) for claims processing.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - Do nothing
Option 2 - Appoint to a post
Option 3 - Appoint agency worker
