Housing Adaptations Demonstration
Sites
Jill Pritchard
Aim & objectives Overall aim
To develop and test key aspects of the approach recommended by the
Adaptations Working Group to inform a revision of the national policy
framework for housing adaptations, and to provide learning to improve
practice
Specific objectives
Test approaches in relation to key issues around current services and
supports
Identify approaches, consistent with recommended principles, which deliver
better outcomes
Capture the learning on a continuing basis over the test period and share
this across Scotland
Inform the review and revision of the national policy and funding framework
for housing adaptations
6 Key features of recommended approach
1. Strategic leadership from the local housing authority,
working in partnership with health and social care, and a
clear local strategy;
2. A strategy for housing adaptations, which is ‘tenure neutral’
with a single funding pot;
3. Arrangements enabling people to have control and choice
through personalisation and self-directed support;
4. A single point of access with a lead agency – ‘one-stop
shop’ – with clear communication and a single point of
contact for service users throughout the process;
5. A broader outcomes-focused service with early
consideration of overall housing options; and
6. Streamlined local partnership working and governance.
Issues and focus Self-directed support approach in housing adaptations
Single funding pot, with tenure neutral access/eligibility
Prevention and early intervention

Design aspects
Adaptations as one response in an integrated menu of options to

and integrates with health and social care
Improved data collection on impact and effectiveness, including
added value

associated with funding

demonstration period to draw on good practice and achieve more
from their resources
Supporting local teams to identify solutions to problems that arise,
such as through connecting to others, providing practice examples,
or brokering between partners
Channelling and referring experience, which has wider learning, to
the Adaptations Network and wider
Ensuring that local teams provide progress reports to the National
Project Team
Adaptations Network

Assessment criteria applied
Strategic Fit Does the proposal address key issues set out in the AWG
report? Is it consistent with the current context of integrated health and social
care?
Outcomes, Impact & Equity Is the proposal consistent with the principles set
out in the AWG report, in particular having a clear focus on improving outcomes
enabling people to stay independent, safe and happy in their homes for longer,
and to realise their personal outcomes?
Collaboration with partners Does the proposal have the clear support from all
key partners, and have these partners committed to their contribution?
Feasibility Is the proposal ambitious in its aims, but with a realistic chance of
achieving its objectives within 2 years? Are the partners willing to support
wholly different approaches at small scale for test purposes? Can the project be
adequately resourced to complete it?
Transferability & Flexibility Is the proposal likely to have relevance and
provide learning to other parts of Scotland? Is it likely to be adaptable to similar
contexts, and capable of operating at different scales?
