The project has now closed, having successfully completed Phase 1 and Phase 2.
The objectives for the second phase of the project were:
- To co-ordinate and, if appropriate, manage a cross-borough accreditation system
- In conjunction with the London Councils, to develop and pilot a cross-borough monitoring system for residential services for people with learning disabilities
- To maintain and develop the cross-borough database
- Once indentified in Year 1 of the project, to develop possible future joint commissioning (and de-commissioning) across the boroughs
- To investigate the feasablity of developing joint working protocols for the management of transitional clients moving into Adult Services
- To identify real cash savings and develop future systems for developing saving opportunities on a sub-regional basis
- To provide a template for use by other London boroughs working together on a sub-regional basis
- To investigate the feasablity and, if appropriate, develop systems to deliver a joined up approach to the implementation of self-directed support and individual budgets
This project was led by LB Merton and included the London boroughs of Sutton, Richmond, Croydon, Lambeth and Wandsworth and the Royal Borough of Kingston.
