My Service at 18

My Service at 18 has been established as a joint strategic transition planning group between C&YPS and Adults LP, in the past each Directorate had its own strategic group with representation from the Directorates on each, the new strategic group comprises representatives from Statutory and voluntary services, parents and providers.  The group had its first away day and agreed a joint action and delivery programme comprising of short, medium and long term goals and will report to The Disabilities Forum, the Children’s Trust and to the Learning Disability Partnership Board also the Well Being Stream Board, linking to the Haringey Strategic Partnership.

The Group also identified the need to review the multi agency pathways.  The revised pathways include short, medium and long term goals within a two year timeframe.  An example is to reframe the fourteen plus panel to the Transition Support Panel and to map out how all the Pathways are linked.  Clarification of all eligibility criteria and identification of key people in all agencies and clear roles and responsibilities would be required.

The Panel were informed that Children and adult services have recognised the need to further review and develop these services and this work had begun. The first step was the joining together of two transition steering groups separately located in the CYPS and ACCS. (Adult, Culture and Community Services). The newly established steering group “my service at 18” quickly identified four work streams; following this an away day was organised to agree a strategic plan and delivery programme. The delivery programme includes   short medium and long term goals and four work streams namely:

            1.         Needs analysis of specific complex needs/mapping of services in                                      Children’s and Adults.

            2          Protocol, procedures and pathways.

            3.         Social Inclusion and Personalisation

            4.         Information, partnership ad consultation.

The very successful day was attended by over forty stakeholders (see appendix 1 for list of attendees). The day was characterised by a commitment to be forward looking.
