Takes a collaborative approach to working with providers and engages people who access services to co-produce commissioning for improved outcomes.

This study looks at how some councils are seeking to transform social care by working closely with innovative providers and shifting their own approach to commissioning.

Organisations interested to get involved with Making it Real can view these examples to support your applications.

Professor Chris Fox discusses his work to develop a stronger evidence base for personalisation and to ensure policy makers nationally and locally are responding to that evidence base.

Is it possible to shift the centre of gravity? Can we make person-centred care a reality for the many and not just the few.

Technology enabled care can enhance people’s wellbeing when it is person-centred and therefore receptive to the outcomes that matter to people.

Having conversations as part of assessments with people who need care and support, rather than following a standard form, can help you commission local services that people want and need.

Isolation has a toxic effect on people’s physical and mental health. Those with fewest assets fare the worst. At the extreme, social exclusion in the form of harassment and violence can lead to suicide.

Social action, also known as community development, is people coming together to help improve their lives and solve shared problems. People volunteer, befriend, advocate, join social movements and organise and develop community assets and services.

Asset-Based Areas see social care as a process of supporting people to support themselves and those around them, not a service system.

Social and community enterprises (SCEs) run shops and pubs, they provide transport, support fun activities, enable people to share accommodation and support them to be self-employed.

Co-commissioners in Asset-Based Areas explicitly seek to promote social value. What this means is that they (commissioners and people with lived experience) look at people’s lives as a whole and don’t focus on individual outcomes.
