II.3)Short description of nature and quantity or value of supplies or services:
Health and social work services. Health services. Miscellaneous health services. Community health services. The following is under consultation and may changeTo develop a holistic health & wellbeing service replacing multiple single issue services for people with complex dependencies; helping people to help themselves; giving them skills to problem solve, enabling them to manage their lives. We estimate that the service will support around 3,500 service users 1:1 or as a household, with a range of needs, particularly:oMental health issuesoDrug and alcohol issuesoHousing issuesoBehaviour-related physical health issuesoDomestic violence/relationship issuesoParenting issuesoGeneral family support needsoPeople out of work with complex barriers to employment (note overlap to ESF Complex Families and Work Programme Leavers)oInvolvement in crime (current or historic)In addition we anticipate that the service will engage with many more people through outreach, group work and delivery of the NHS health checks programme. The new service will be targeted at people with emerging problems around these areas, but who do not yet meet thresholds for statutory support (e.g. specialist mental health, social care), or where the statutory involvement cannot meet all the needs. The service’s aim will be to ensure they receive support to prevent them needing specialist services.Our analysis has highlighted that, hidden behind the different terminologies used by different services, there is a considerable degree of overlap in the types of support needed to enable people to become more independent and self-reliant because the root causes of the presenting symptoms, which are often the same e.g. poor self-image, no confidence, low self-esteem, few social /support networks, poor financial management; lack of hope and aspiration etc.Our experience indicates that these issues are far more likely to be addressed by a lead worker offering a holistic support service, that includes input from the local community, friends and relatives.This has therefore highlighted that there are significant opportunities for developing an offer that works more flexibly across a number of different cohorts, rather than focusing on one specific cohort, and for working jointly with the voluntary sector to develop an offer that places equal emphasis on community and peer support as it does on professional expertise.The new service will therefore be focused on service users and their needs, not restricted by artificial service and budget boundaries. The key aspects we anticipate to be part of the service are:-Single point of access to the service: one contact point for all referrals for non-safeguarding issues. This function will collate information from the person making a referral, combine this with data and intelligence held in our systems relating to the individual or family and use this to make an initial decision on the appropriate response. Where necessary, an in-depth holistic early help assessment will be undertaken with the individual or family prior to making a decision.-On-line self-help: a web-based information service providing on-line access to enable people to identify issues for themselves and identify and access avenues of support for themselves. -Peer mentoring: volunteer mentors from a range of backgrounds to be matched with individuals and families in order to support them in accessing services and supporting their own self-help approach.-Community/volunteer advocacy support: volunteer advocates to provide a structured support approach to individuals and families.-Facilitate recovery groups in the community: support development of new volunteer groups and maintenance of existing ones within Oldham. Strategic development of available groups and referral process to them. Awareness raising of available groups and support for people to access them – utilising peer mentors and advocates accordingly.-Life coaching (volunteers and community support): volunteers within structured, 1:1 support, delivered by volunteer organisations with the purpose of life coaching people to problem solve for themselves to manage their own lives better.-Engagement working: engagement workers providing support to families/individuals to get to the root cause of presenting issues, in order to stop them escalating to crisis point and requiring input from specialist/crisis response services. Co-ordination of referrals to other areas of this service (e.g. peer mentoring); or to other agencies where this is necessary. Anticipated caseload of 1:10 with a six week turnaround.-Talking therapies: trained workers providing therapies e.g. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness promoting emotional health and wellbeing for families/individuals in order to stop them escalating to crisis point and requiring support from specialist services.
