Introduction to Thriving VCF Leadership Events
Vince Roberts, Sheffield City Council
The Sheffield CompactAims to strengthen working relationships between the VCF and Public Sector to deliver the best possible results for the people of Sheffield.
The Compact was previously ‘looked after’ by a Board made up of representatives from VCF Sector, NHS and Sheffield City Council that aimed to –
•Promote a strong, diverse and independent third sector
•Encourage effective and transparent design and development of policies, programmes and public services
•Champion responsive and high quality programmes and services to the people of Sheffield

• The Joint Commissioning Executive will oversee the development of and governance surrounding these plans

The Opportunity
• To build on achievements of programmes such as Healthy Communities Programme, Right First Time
• Incorporate lessons learned from localised initiatives into commissioning plans
• Make the best use of the expertise and resources within communities
• Launched a range of projects that work in and with local communities and professionals, such as in the Lowedges, Batemoor and Jordanthorpe area of the city, and the Right First Time and Future Shape Children’s Health programmes.
• Engaged with Sheffield people. This tells us how important integration is to Sheffield people, who don’t want to be passed from ‘pillar to post’.
• Established a Joint Commissioning Executive to oversee the integration work for the Health and Wellbeing Board and to feed into our work with Think Local Act Personal and the Public Services Transformation Network.
Integration and Whole-Person Care in Sheffield: what we’ve done up to now
Why do we want to integrate health and social care?
People get the right care, at the right time and in the
right place.
Organisations in Sheffield work together to help people, families and communities to build and strengthen the support they provide to each other.
Expert help is available to help people take control of their own care so that it is genuinely person-centred, and complements and builds on the assets they have.
People, families and communities in Sheffield support each other to improve and maintain their wellbeing and independence.
Health and care services are focussed on a person’s needs - organisational boundaries do not get in the way.
1. Community and primary prevention– Working with professionals (including GPs) and communities in local areas.– Stopping people at low risk of declining health and wellbeing becoming high risk by investing in tackling the causes not the symptoms.
2. Intermediate care and reablement– Helping people to be independent following a stay in hospital.
3. Community equipment4. Long-term high support
– Devising innovative options for people needing high support.
5. Other Better Care Fund elements, including infrastructure6. Governance
