Towards new models of assessment
“Alice came to a fork in the road. 'Which road do I take?' she asked.'Where do you want to go?' responded the Cheshire Cat.'I don't know,' Alice answered.'Then,' said the Cat, 'it doesn't matter.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
What people say of their experience of a “poor assessment?”
“They were late, kept looking at their watch from the minute they walked through my door
and didn’t seem to care”
“She was obviously
working from her own list and didn’t
listen”
It was awful! One of the worst
experiences of my life! They focused on all the things I couldn’t do and
made me feel even more useless”
He spent more time talking to the carers’ than
me. I felt left out of the conversation all the time”
“It was just a tick box
exercise most of the questions
didn’t even mean anything
to me” People don’t seem to realise how difficult it is
to open up to a complete stranger about
very personal things” How would you feel?”
“it was a bit scary, it felt like a test that I had to pass or fail to
get the help I needed”
“ I didn’t really understand what an assessment was and why I
was being assessed”
What people say about their experience of a “good assessment”
“She didn’t try to fix everything and helped me see that there was lots of things I could achieve myself”
“The social worker was honest with me and kept me
informed on what happens next”
“I had time to talk things through and was
encouraged to make my own decisions in my
own time “
“I was treated as a person and
not just a number or case”
“They really
listened to me”
“He asked the right
questions”
“I had time to build up my confidence and trust as it was the same person that helped me with my assessment and monitors my support plan!
“They seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me as a person and what had been important in the past and what was important to me now!”
The Talking Points Approach (Miller and Cook) suggests it is helpful for an individual to consider the following areas during assessment.
• being as well as possible • improved confidence • having friendships and relationships • social contact • feeling safe • living independently • being included
Shifting the balance of Power
SDS relies on CO-PRODUCTION in identifying and agreeing outcomes and support plans
(SDS National Strategy, Scottish Government 2010).
Co-production re-defines the relationshipbetween the public service professional and the
service user; it involves breaking downbarriers and creating a more collaborative and
equal relationship.
Deficit led versus Strengths based
Deficit Led Model
Focuses on problems
Can leave people feeling dis-empowered
Often the only way to access services
Strengths Based Model
Focuses on solutions
Values the capacity, skills and potential people
possess
Person supported to be empowered
Opportunity to use alternative, creative
approaches
Option one|: A direct paymentOption two: The person getting the support directing the support and having a budget but not the moneyOption three: The local authority organising the services that the person wantsOption four: A combination of the other options – ‘mix and match’.
The four options:
A Support plan has to answer these questions:
• What is important to you? • What do you want to change? • How will you arrange your support? • How will you spend your money? • How will you manage your support? • How will you stay in control? • What will you do next?
Creative support planning
The branding of Self-Directed Support is powerful a commitment and statement of intent
My Life My Choice
My life My Plan
Your Support Your Choice
Not about me without me
At each review, the four options must be offered formally again, even if there are no changes required. How this is evidenced ,it must be considered by the practitioner and included in local review recording process. It may be helpful for the practitioner to see reviews as a natural extension of support planning. At any time, the supported person can ask to change their option (which should be dealt with by the same process as they made their previous choice) or they may ask for their assessment, support plan, or budget to be reviewed.
Reviews
review of the support applies to all four options under the SDS Act. Review involves re-evaluating whether the plan is achieving the agreed goals and outcomes set out in the support plan.
the views of the person with regard to such issues as- the support provided; feeling safe in their home and local community; their level of social inclusion; their personal development; and/ or any caring roles they undertake- should all be explored and changes to the support plan discussed and agreed.
the Act makes it clear that the local authority and the supported person have the right to request a review of their selected Option under the SDS Act if there is a change in the supported person’s circumstances/ if there is evidence that outcomes are not being met as anticipated.
Reviews
Risk enablement
The supported person should be assisted to feel safe and secure in all aspects of life, to enjoy safety but not to be over-protected and, in so far as possible, to be free from exploitation and abuse.
(Statutory Guidance)
14.1 The Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007 (“the 2007 Act”) provides the legal framework for the protection of adults who are unable to safeguard their own interests. It is based on the fundamental principles that the intervention must provide benefit to the adult and is the least restrictive option to the adult's freedom. These principles should be at the heart of all risk planning and enablement. (Statutory Guidance
