Over the last 12m there have been significant changes in the way SCC provides care and support for adults with mental health needs. This has included both changes within SCC in relation to mental health social work and the way that it commissions services from the wider market. These changes mean a real shift in the way that individuals with mental health needs are being supported, with a re-focus on promoting independence, working towards recovery and building aspirations. The event will cover: — The changes to date in mental health social care; — The future direction and new ways of working; — The use of the Learning Disability Open Framework (LDOF) in sourcing care and support packages for adults with mental health social care needs. The event will cover a range of mental health services that SCC currently uses LDOF to source, which include Mental Health Daytime Support, Domiciliary Care and Supported Living.
