Breakout: Past Safe & Legal to Real Transitional Benefits

How do you drive and maintain System Wide Thinking when going through the LGR process when the focus is on being ‘safe & Legal’ – An LGR Real World Problem.

This workshop will engage with Senior Leaders to start thinking about how system wide approach/change that the LGR process affords local government, remains on the agenda table during the period between Governments ‘minded to’ decision and ‘vesting day’ and beyond.

LGR is the opportunity to re-think how services can be reimagined across all sectors using a system approach/thinking that creates preventive measures to reduce the support required in some cases, ensuring a fulfilled life in other cases or even ensure no support is required as measures are identified early to ensure the resident maintains as full a life as possible keeping them away from many of the health, education, or other local services sometimes needed.

How do we avoid ‘tunnel vision’ to ensure that whilst  ‘safe and legal’ is delivered on day one ‘vesting day’, that here is equally a truly challenging ‘investment and change’ programme that would support innovative approaches across the wider sector that join up health, education, communities and public services?

It will put citizens at the heart of our approach, considering the future of the ‘Place’, its purpose and those that live and work within it.
