    Outcomes and Localism

    The subsequent development of Single Outcome Agreements by local authorities & community planning partners, alongside a shift to an outcomes-based approach, has added a new dimension to policy making in Scotland.

    Please click on the ‘more information’ link below to access further resources about localism and outcomes, including a new Outcomes toolbox developed in partnership with IRISS, to help guide care providers in how to understand and influence emerging local agendas.

    Workforce

    The Scottish Government recently awarded CCPS a grant with the aim to assist “social services providers in the voluntary sector to fully contribute to the national workforce development agenda and maximise their capacity to self-manage the development of their workforce.” The team that will deliver the work has now been established.

    Commissioning

    Commissioning, procurement and tendering have become the key enabling processes that facilitate the involvement of the voluntary sector in the provision of publicly-funded support and care services in Scotland’s communities.

    As such, they are major areas of interest and concern to CCPS and its members. Please click on the ‘more information’ link below to find out more about commissioning and procurement issues, as well as our new Tenderwatch feature.

    Integration & collaboration

    Integration of adult health and social care is a key element of the Scottish Government’s response to the Christie Commission on public service reform. CCPS is closely involved with the development of this agenda, working to ensure that it is not just about a structural reorganisation of the NHS and local authorities, to the exclusion of the third sector.

    Christie recommendations also endorsed wider joint working and collaboration in the provision of public services. Collaboration, partnerships and merger within the third sector present opportunities as well as challenges for social care providers.

    Cuts and austerity

    Care and support budgets in Scotland’s third sector continue to be affected by budget cuts – radically in many cases – threatening services and jobs in many local authority areas. In addition, proposed changes to the benefits system within the welfare reform agenda proposed by the Westminster Government, are also likely to impact upon care and support provision in Scotland.
    This page gives more information about the ways that austerity measures may be impacting upon third sector care providers in particular. Please click on the ‘more information’ link below to find out more.
