Duplication of Effort
Limited Engagement from others
Context
Rise in demand for services from the most vulnerable in society
Increase in complexity of calls for public service

3. JUSTICE & REHABILITATION
GM has made significant progress in implementing reform programmes
TROUBLED FAMILIES

JUSTICE & REHABILITATION
EARLY YEARS
COMPLEX DEPENDENCY
PHASE 1 OUTCOMES: All targets in phase 1 of the programme achieved
PHASE 2 ON COURSE: 75% (6,600) of GM TF2 allocations for early starter phase and 15/16 are engaged
STRONG STRATEGIC POSITION NATIONALLY: Only sub-region to become an early adopter for phase 2
GM outcomes framework has influenced the national approach
PILOT OUTCOMES: 3,700 people now attached to the programme, 132 people have moved into work
EXPANSION AGREED: Expansion of the programme agreed through devolution agreement, procurement is underway and the expanded service is due to begin in February
INFLUENCING NATIONAL EMPLOYMENT & SKILLS REFORM: WW approach influencing both DWP and CLG strategy on supporting those furthest from the labour market (though discussion with DWP on other areas of reform remains a challenge)
EMBEDDING REFORM PRINCIPLES: Programmes to support women offenders, young offenders, and others are embedding an integrated approach to justice and rehabilitation
IMPROVING OUTCOMES: Only 6.5% of women referred to centres established to support women offenders have re-offended.
561 Intensive Community Orders have now been made, re-conviction rates stand at 19.7% (compared to 32.6% for adult reoffending: GM Probation Trust)
1,512 offenders being managed through integrated offender management model
NEW DELIVERY MODEL: Places implementing different elements of the new delivery model
NEW STRATEGY IN DEVELOPMENT: Early Years strategy development underway, aligning with Health & Social Care reform
DEVELOPMENT OF HUBS: 5-6 LAs now have integrated multi-service hubs in place
PLACE-BASED INTEGRATION: Place-based integration pilots beginning in Tameside and Wigan, other places are lining up to develop their approaches shortly

4. We’re focusing on early intervention and prevention
Working in collaboration
to support GM residents
and improve outcomes
Housing
Fire & Rescue
Police
Health services
Local Government
Thinking about cumulative impact rather than single service planning
Identifying and addressing demand before it escalates
Supporting individuals and families collaboratively, working across organisational boundaries
Reducing demand on expensive, reactive services

5. Delivering our ambition: aligning reform across GM
H&SC TRANSFORMATION
WIDER REFORM ACROSS GM

6. Integrated models of reform
Devolution provides GM with a unique opportunity to reconfigure our approach to local services
Given the scale of the opportunity, failing to align our broader approach to reform with the health and social care change programme would be a missed opportunity.
The achievement of our health and social care ambitions are also dependent on services outside these sectors: an integrated response is required
GM H&SC reform
Broader GM reform
Early intervention and prevention strategy:
Our strategy should include implementation of a single Early Years strategy, wellness offers and should tackle complex dependency (early intervention and prevention must be part of universal and specialist service plans)
Ensuring GM residents and communities are supported to avoid escalation risk (equally applicable to medical and non-medical risk)
Supported by effective use of data (understanding level and location of need and assets across GM)
Delivering and integrating services in ways that recognise the interdependencies in outcomes (i.e. positive mental health outcomes associated with employment)
Improvement & Efficiency:
Identifying appropriate cross-sector (or cross-locality) back office savings through integration and collaboration
Working in clusters to improve standards of service through development of sectors of excellence (e.g. approach to some elements of the Services for Children review)
Implementing GM standards (not standardising) – ensuring all GM residents are able to access support shown to have positive impact
Providing integrated packages of support to GM residents, requiring collaboration across sector. This should be managed proactively in localities, based on robust use of data that helps us identify risk, ensuring integration is being managed in a coordinated way.

7. A place-based approach to reform
Our revised reform principles highlight the importance of taking a place-based approach to the delivery of reform, ensuring our reform of public services supports neighbourhoods and communities across the conurbation to contribute to and benefit from growth in GM
GM REFORM PRINCIPLES
A new relationship between public services and citizens, communities and businesses that enables shared decision making, democratic accountability and voice, genuine co-production and joint delivery of services. Do with, not to.
An asset based approach that recognises and builds on the strengths of individuals, families and our communities rather than focussing on the deficits.
Behaviour change in our communities that builds independence and supports residents to be in control
A place-based approach that redefines services and places individuals, families, communities at the heart
A stronger prioritisation of well being, prevention and early intervention
An evidence led understanding of risk and impact to ensure the right intervention at the right time
An approach that supports the development of new investment and resourcing models, enabling collaboration with a wide range of organisations.

8. To deliver our ambition, our workforce must develop…
Working in collaboration
Making use of, having access to, and sharing appropriate data to support decision making
Linking people to assets in their communities
Being empowered to make decisions
Having new roles
Having a different conversation

9. Those who only need universal services
Public Service Reform and ‘Place’
Complex
& Costly
‘At risk’
Those who only need universal services
Likely to be known to a number of services and professionals
Likely to be below the threshold for specialist services but have multiple issues and risk factors
Demand and the role of the Neighbourhood Teams
2.7million residents across Greater Manchester
The shape and size of the triangle will vary locally
Reducing demand for public services relies on identifying those individuals and families who are not yet accessing specialist services but are at risk from escalating problems. It is these individuals and families who generate most demand for all agencies in neighbourhoods.
Reducing the flow of demand in the neighbourhood is therefore essential to address the needs of this ‘at risk’ group.

10. Key findings and learning from Place-based early adopter sites

11. Demand Analysis 11

12. Receiving Specialist Service
Demand Analysis
Receiving Specialist Service
27% of cases
43% of demand
Hyde Area
1,235 Incidents of demand
Not Coping
39% of cases
40% of demand
48 Cases
Well adapted
34% of cases
17% of demand
The current system is set up to deal effectively with just 17% of demand
The other 84% of demand requires a tailored response
Just over half of this would come under ‘Specialist Service’ leaving 40% of demand not meeting threshold but in need of more than just universal service
85% known to >1 Agency
63% known to Mental Health
49% of Police demand known to Mental Health 12

13. System Study Findings
Demand moves around or presents variably in the system
Triage, assessments and referrals dictate workflow
Offer interventions from a ‘menu of options’
We deal with demand as it ‘presents’ not necessarily in ‘context’
Focus on what is wrong with people
Pass/escalate to specialists without truly understanding the problem
Interventions are often at the point of crisis, we miss the opportunity to intervene early
Silos within and across organisations

14. System Designed Constraints & Blockages
Access to Citizens & Other Services
Nationally driven Performance Indicators

16. Redesigning Frontline Roles
Understanding what is required in the redesign of frontline roles through the experiment
Competencies, Skills and Powers Framework
Understanding the degree to which specialist and targeted services are required at the frontline to inform commissioning strategies and deployment of resource at different spatial levels 16

17. Understanding and Measuring Citizen Value
A performance management framework that links individual outcomes (‘citizen value’) to wider population outcomes and is used to assess system performance 17

18. Place-based Integration – What’s Different?
Current Assumptions
“Understand ‘where people are’ and what strengths and assets can help”
“Measures of organisational performance based on citizens achieving ‘what matters’ to them”
Evolving Assumptions
Commonly Understood Elements and Recent Developments
Systems Thinking Evolutions for Place-based Working
Different Conversations with service users, allowing strengths and assets to be built upon. Conversations may be structured around a predetermined framework and directed from the specific professionals perspective.   
“Understanding ‘what matters’, what a good life looks like, what strengths and assets can help”
‘Leading’ Measures relating to ‘what matters’ to service users and place from different conversations are linked to ‘lagging’ measures at population / agency level. Demonstrate the link between citizen value and
“Measures of achievement of purpose and ‘what matters’ to people are linked to population and agency outcomes”
Multi-agency team co-located, with shared management.
“Joining up what we have”
Redesigned Team Roles (including leadership roles) with the knowledge, skills, expertise to help people - themselves and their place.
“Designing for what is needed”
Key-worker navigates around obstacles (System Conditions) in order to achieve better outcomes.
“Work around the System Madness”
Leaders take action on the System Conditions – obstacles to delivering purpose and ‘what matters’ to service users – making achieving better outcomes as simple as it can be.
“Design out the System Madness”
Demand reduction, management and triage through a multi-agency lens.
“Get it to the right agency the first time or as quickly as possible”
Holistic root-cause, contextual solving problem solving.
“Understand the problems to solve holistically and in context. Help people to help themselves, support as required at universal level and enable specialist support when required”
“Join up what we have”
“Design for what is needed”
“Work around the system madness”
“Design out the system madness”
“Get it to the right agency the first time or as quickly as possible”
There is potential to have a radical impact on Service, Costs & Moral
Evidence that Service is not great e.g. Needs not met
Evidence that Costs are unnecessarily high e.g. Amplified demand
Evidence that morale is much better when people have a clear purpose and a system that allows true value to be added to people and places
“Understand and act on the problem to solve holistically in an integrated way” 18

19. Next steps Implementation of integrated place-based leadership
The integration place-based pilots currently rolling out across GM provide an opportunity to test integrated place-based leadership at scale in , potentially paving the way for implementation of a GM model in
Convergence of PSR programmes
Single framework for operational delivery with agreed standards developed for GM and single outcomes framework.
Alignment with Health and Social Care
As locality health and social care leadership and delivery models emerge, alignment with wider locality based planning will be required.
Information sharing
GM proposals to strengthen information sharing were approved in January and this will strengthen GM’s ability to move to a more integrated local service model.
