East Midlands Joint Improvement Partnership: SDS support
The East Midlands councils with responsibility for adult social care were in the process of transitioning to a self-directed support (SDS) service delivery model. Each of the councils in the region were at different stages of implementing SDS and had specific support requirements.
iMPOWER met with each of the councils to do a high-level requirements list based on their individual circumstances. The support provided by iMPOWER was then tailored around the specific needs of each council. iMPOWER developed open source-type solutions that councils could customise to ensure that they were fit for purpose and aligned with the councils’ individual objectives.

East Midlands Joint Improvement Partnership: SDS supportiMPOWER effectively supported individual councils in the East Midlands to move forward on specific areas to implement self-directed support. The insight that iMPOWER provided specifically around commissioning and financial modelling supported the councils to make timely decisions about future commissioning approaches. The Joint Improvement Partnership is now building on the work that iMPOWER delivered to continue the transformation of adult social care in the region, specifically around further utilising the action learning sets model.
