Sefton Community First (working title) • ‘Sefton Community First’ is a joined-up approach which will engage, empower and enable our residents to be ready, willing and able to make positive changes to their lives.

Sefton Community First will be a fully integrated model that will see children, young people, adults of any age and families at the heart of what we do. Working alongside our partners, commissioned and non-commissioned services we will strive to deliver the quality the community deserves, in a more efficient and effective way. By working with people earlier we can prevent their needs escalating into more acute, intrusive and costly services.

Sefton Community First – The principles • Move away from a ‘done-unto’ assessment process and instead provide an opportunity for shared conversations between the key worker and the individual or family. • The approach recognises where any individual or family are now and jointly identifies the necessary steps required for them to get to where they want to be. • It is a joint, time limited approach which empowers those involved to see a lasting change, which will focus on strengths. • Sefton Community First will adopted a whole family approach to identify what needs to be done and what action needs to be taken • The offer will promote resilience and strengthen family life through working together and where possible re-engaging with universal services

Tweaks or Re-design? • Do we really understand root cause and address this or tackle the presenting factors? • How do we change expectations of what the Council will provide? • How do we move from ‘delivering services that meet a need’ to ‘building on peoples assets to support resilience for the future’? • How can we work better in partnership?

Next Steps • Public engagement and consultation • Overview and Scrutiny • Final draft • Staff consultation and recruitment

Public Consultation Suggestions on how we engage the public: • Proposals for the new offer, communicating changes and differences • How can the Council stop creating demand through dependency? • What opportunities are there to provide services which are a better fit, with what is actually needed by residents? • Do residents access free services they don’t strictly need?
