Early Intervention and prevention. The role of the missing person problem solvers is important for ensuring that there is an effective force response to the challenges of dealing with missing people. The role should be focused on problem solving, prevention and a multi-agency approach. The Missing duties/responsibilities of the Police will be overseen by their designated Missing Person Co-ordinator.
Early Intervention and prevention. The Partnership is committed to effective early intervention; this means working together so that families review the help they need so that their problems and concerns are effectively addressed early in the life of the child and early in the development of issues so that these do not escalate. The Merton Child, Young Person and Family Well-being Model5 is the MSCP’s Threshold document and outlines how we expect all agencies to respond to the needs of children, young people and their families across the continuum of need.
Early Intervention and prevention. We intend to intervene at the earliest stage possible to prevent people from entering the criminal justice system or becoming victims of crime. This will be founded on work across the Community Planning Partnership including early years. We will seek to work with offenders to prevent them re-offending and look to further develop alternatives to prosecution. Some specific actions we will progress include: • Taking a co-ordinated cross-agency approach to vulnerable adults including women offenders. This includes better matching of services & resources to need, particularly those highlighted through Vulnerable Person Reports; • Taking a co-ordinated approach to vulnerable children and children who are at risk of becoming involved in offending or have started to offend; • Supporting addiction recovery; • Identifying the cost of the top 10 recurring offenders or service users with a view to designing proactive interventions which will lead to better outcomes; • Improving through and after care for looked after children and for offenders in line with early and effective intervention and the whole systems approach; and • Improving our approach on tackling domestic abuse, particularly those involving drug and/or alcohol issues. Key Activities We are aware that there are some additional issues we need to improve on. These include: • Developing and improving services in support of women offenders; • Taking a much more comprehensive and integrated approach to support vulnerable adults; • Further developing the information we use to resource the Tasking & Co- ordination process giving priority to Domestic Abuse; and • Looking at additional services which can support offenders, e.g. Community Learning & Development.
Early Intervention and prevention. There are a number of long-term initiatives as well as new activity which we believe will secure the continuing development of the local economy, sustain growth and increase employment. These include: • Continuing to put young people at the heart of our activity on economic development while recognising the needs of all job seekers. This includes providing work experience and activity opportunities with local employers and in key sectors; • Delivering high quality business support services which integrate national and local priorities • Ensuring we continue to invest in our infrastructure so that the area continues to be an attractive place to do business helps to attract inward investment and secures job creation. This will be assisted with initiatives such as the Tax Incremental Finance Initiative (TIF); • Secure good levels of attainment for young people leaving school and raising young people’s levels of aspiration, through for example young people’s entrepreneurial schemes; • Utilising our collective influence to secure better investment opportunities for local businesses and businesses seeking to locate in the Falkirk Council area; • Giving greater priority to securing positive and sustainable destinations for looked after school leavers; • Promoting skills for life, including literacy, numeracy and digital inclusion; • Further engaging with local employers to ensure we are supporting young people and children to become the workforce for the future; • Take forward the role of the Council as ‘corporate parent’ in providing employment for young people who have been looked after. Key Activities There are number of areas we have recognised that we need to enhance if our approach in this area is to continue to be effective to secure sustainable economic growth and boosting employment. These include: • Improving the connectivity between employment, skills and growth, whilst better matching the skills of our workforce to the needs of business and employment opportunities; • Refreshing our economic strategy to address issues of employment, growth, support to business and tourism; • Working more effectively, whilst securing better value for money across the partner organisations to support the sustainable growth of our local economy; • Ensuring that local business continue to be at the heart of our economic strategy and have a strong voice in influencing its continuing development; • Building on the area’s key strengths include the chemical, manufacturing and...
Early Intervention and prevention. The CPP has long acknowledged that we need to move away from 'picking up the pieces' once something has happened and become better at early identification of individuals who are at risk, and take steps to address that risk. The CPP is in a strong position to develop on this agenda. The CPP Prevention Plan is now firmly in place and processes have been developed to monitor and measure progress, through the partnership’s performance management system, Covalent. We can already begin to see early indication of the positive impact of prevention and early intervention. Our preventative activity has been showcased at several national CPP events and the CPP audit report confirms that prevention and early intervention are strong features of many partnership initiatives. Prevention and early action will be explored further in a workshop at the West Lothian CPP Conference in August 2015. The Early Years Collaborative (EYC) is a multi-agency improvement programme to support the transformation of early years. West Lothian participation in the EYC has targeted smoking cessation in pregnant women, reducing child poverty, improving the transition experience of children moving from nursery to primary school, improving attachment through evidence based interventions and the implementation of systematic screening for domestic and sexual violence. Three workstreams have been set up with leads across NHS and education services. Practitioners across NHS, council and voluntary sectors are linked together to test out innovative changes in practice and are now looking at how these changes can be tested and implemented across a broader scale. The EYC, Family Nurse Partnership and Psychology of Parenting Project are working together providing a whole population approach.

Early Intervention and prevention a) Strategic Objectives This scheme seeks to manage demand arising from demographic pressures by reducing the movement of Hillingdon residents/patients from lower tiers of risk into higher tiers of risk through proactive early identification and facilitating access to preventative pathways, that includes a focus on promoting self-care. It builds on the work undertaken under Xxxxxxxxxx's 2015/16 and 2016/17 BCF plans and also the broader programme of integration to taking forward the anticipatory model of care and applies a more preventative approach to addressing health and social care need. b) Scheme Overview As with previous iterations of the Hillingdon's BCF plan, the focus of this scheme will be people living with dementia, people susceptible to falls and/or who are socially isolated and also people at risk of stroke as these long-term conditions are disproportionately represented in our non-elective admissions and admissions to long term residential care. Initiatives under this scheme include: Access to information and advice - Access to good information and advice is fundamental to people being able to self-manage their own health and wellbeing. Over the last two years the Council has developed and promoted the online resident portal called Connect to Support. In 2017/18 platform supplier arrangements will be subject to competitive tender and service specification development will include accessibility through portable technology options. Partners will work on the links between the resident portal and the development of a directory of services to support the hospital discharge process referred to further in scheme 4: Integrated Hospital Discharge. A key objective here is to reflect synergies and avoid unnecessary duplication. Risk stratification - Much work has taken place over the last two years in applying risk stratification tools within primary care, e.g. Qadmissions, PAR30, the Electronic Frailty Index (EFI) and the Patient Activation Measure (XXX), as a means of early identification of people at risk of escalated needs. The development of fifteen Care Connection Teams (CCTs) across the borough comprising of a guided care matron and care coordinator working alongside GPs, will support more proactive interventions to prevent or delay what might otherwise be an inevitable trajectory towards escalated need. Proactive work between social care and, initially, CCTs in the north of the borough to identify people receiving both social care and healt...
