It is Austerity driven policy. In the real world people can’t even meet their basic survival needs such as food, clothing, heating the most basic of human needs. The facts are simple there are now millions of people facing destitution in the uk one of the richest countries in the world. Social workers are seeing a sea of poverty and they have to talk to people as if they are architects of their own situation. There is no care or compassion towards people in the this great nation from their Tory overlords. Local Authorities are now likely to collapse under this sea of unmet need. There is no money and with no money there is no solution. We don’t talk about needs anymore because largely they can’t be met by the Voluntary sector or the Local Authority. Food bank Britain stinks and Social Workers are told keep quiet and do exactly what you are told. Personalisation with zero resources was always going to prove difficult. Social workers need to take a radical view of the problems they see and fight against this enforcement of strength based nonsense.

The extent to which a person understands their condition within their living arrangements is the responsibility of the assessor to judge, not the recipient ~ the extent to which someone can actually participate, and be fully informed, and the nature and degree of how impacted also in the gift of the assessor….

This is how the caselaw since the Ritchie Inquiry, (see the Camberwell Assessment Framework and Focal Person, and dare I say, ‘Still Bulding Bridges’ has been formed.

The reenablement agenda is an ideological driver drawn from Dr Whilsenholme(sp) work on hospital discharge and systems dynamics ie the archetype ‘Out of Control’. This modelling sits with other systems archetypes, like ‘shifting the burden’ ~ which is the underlying thinking of services planning ~ crucially, and since 2009, the perception of the advantages of, say, personalisation have been called into question, most notably by the EU Social Protection Committee, because the ‘shifting of the burden’ impacted user’s and carers negatively. Leeds University had a large part in the research.

The shifting is an ideological issue, no?

For the written record of a ‘needs assessment’, it has to state what the persons ‘needs’ are, as well as their capabilities, not forgetting that it should also be proportionate and appropriate.

The simplest was to describe a need when writing about it is to think of a need as the ‘gap’ between ‘what is’ and what ‘should be’.

Example paragraph structure:

1.What is- the situation, including the persons capabilities

2.The gap- what support some ‘needs’ to reach the outcome

3.What should be- the outcome the person should be able to achieve (ie. Care Act outcome)

This is also a good place to identify the impact on a persons wellbeing using their own words. ie. “It saddens me that I can’t go out with my friends at the weekend like everyone else.”
