Publisher: 
NDTi
Topics: 
Supported employment and Commissioning
Type:

This publication summarises the learning from work undertaken by NDTi around supporting people with learning disabilities and people with mental health problems into paid work. Conclusions include that there is:

* An overall weakness in the planning and commissioning processes
* Limited understanding amongst many commissioners of the evidence base around what works
* Inadequate actions to expand the market for employment supports
* A failure to link employment supports to the growth of individual budgets.

The guide provides information about what personalisation means for mental health services and supports, offers examples of what needs to be in place to make things work, and provides pointers to good practice and sources of advice and information.

NHS Commissioning Outcomes consultation

Submitted by Huw on Mon, 11/02/2013 - 12:03

BASE is urging members to respond to a consultation on health commissioning indicators. Unlike the NHS Outcomes Framework, employment does not feature as an indicator. We believe it should.

The Clinical Commissioning Group Outcomes Indicator Set (CCGOIS) supports clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and health and wellbeing partners to plan for health improvement by providing information for measuring and benchmarking outcomes of services commissioned by CCGs.
