What we know - childhoodLooked After Children
• Health of children and young people in care is often poor before entering care system – may reflect poor early life experiences, family influences and environmental risk factors

average for the Trust
Caseloads and throughput in A2i
• New team has been successful, but has been a bit overwhelmed – needs
different resourcing and stronger management
• Need to get more Recovery-based movement, through services.
Carer involvement
• We are working on this, but carers can still get overlooked.

3 Areas that are going well
• Joint working between ASC and OPMH, and involvement of OPMH service in ‘Virtual Wards’

3 Areas for Development
• Personalised social care for people with MH problems– Direct Payments / Personalised Budgets take up very low
• Impact of Care Act 2014 on people within AMH services needing Social Care involvement
• Ensuring effective communication with carers - some staff manage to make carers feel involved even when consent to share information is limited but this is not consistent. Some carers feed back that they feel there is a barrier to communication with Care Co-ordinators.
