• Explore the context of market place economics and human services

• Explore Providers potential contribution to Community

• Propose what Support Providers might consider going into the future

Overview

The world according to me – Kate Fulton

• Economic context – consumerism • Market place economics - supply and demand • NDIA – regulator of the market place via price setting, service options and compliance

• Do better on less• ‘Do or die’ – consumers will choose

Are Providers simple suppliers?

Service Land• The systems offer can isolate people from their peers, families and community connections

• Services may be in the community, but don’t draw on it’s resources

• People’s ‘label’ or deficit becomes the most important thing, not their capacities and resources (their real wealth)

• Power and autonomy - There is a tendency for staff to take over decision-making and to make the rules

• People’s needs are seen through the service ‘frame’ and service solutions become the only solutions.

Building centred, system centred, service centred NOT person centred

Page 11: Are we Support Providers or Community Organisations?  Kate Fulton nov 16

Service solutions become the solutions

• Placements – Young people• Care Homes – Older people• Day Centers – People with a disability or mental ill health • Groups homes – people with intellectual disabilities• Programs not allocation of resources

The flow of money drives the solutions and people try to make them work best they can

‘Prescriptions instead of plans’

We want facilitators of thinking - exploration, possibility and design

Page 14: Are we Support Providers or Community Organisations?  Kate Fulton nov 16

14

• People and families do not want simple standard supply

• Individually tailored, co-designed supports that make sense for them in their own context, in their own communities and in way that builds their own capacity and connection

• Supports with a partner of their choice; in a relationship that is respectful and in the hope that this partnership will evolve flexibly over time

My experience and partnerships tell me…

Page 15: Are we Support Providers or Community Organisations?  Kate Fulton nov 16

15

• ‘what’s on the plan is what we deliver’.

• UK experience - energy, effort and money to move money into the hands and control of people and families

• An individual allocation of money does not result in the right things on offer to buy

• Poor design impacts on the outcomes experienced by people

Moving money for what outcome?

Page 16: Are we Support Providers or Community Organisations?  Kate Fulton nov 16

16

• Find their sense of purpose, • Have the freedom and support to pursue it,• Have enough money to be free • Having a home where we belong• Getting help from others we choose• Making a life in the community• Finding love and relationships that matter

This cannot possibly be delivered by the NDIS or any other resource allocation system alone

Our ‘business’ is not supply, its supporting Citizenship

Page 17: Are we Support Providers or Community Organisations?  Kate Fulton nov 16

17

• Shared Management • Partnerships with other organisations and

networks that support citizenship • Genuine investment in the workforce

beyond suppliers • Community Networks

If our business is supporting citizenship…

partnership with people and families • The organisation needs to not get in the

way, but facilitate and support• Support Staff who work in their local

community are working on an asset for themselves and their families

Co-design, co-production or simply working together?

Page 37: Are we Support Providers or Community Organisations?  Kate Fulton nov 16

37

• Investing in and supporting peer to peer connection

• More of the same will have minimal results and impact • Courage and integrity in how we work with people and how we work

with Governments is needed

Creativity
