1 Communicating the Care Act
2 Communicating the Care Act what s changed? From April 2015, care and support in England is changing to become more consistent across the country. The overall aim of the Care Act is to help our residents remain healthy and independent for longer. A key requirement of the change is the need for clearer, comprehensive and joined up information and advice to enable people to research and plan their care and support for themselves. Bath and North East Somerset Council (along with all councils in England) will now use nationally agreed criteria to assess the help we can offer to adults. We will also be offering more help to unpaid carers all of whom will be eligible for an assessment. There is also a change in financing care called a deferred payment agreement. This means that people can borrow money from the Council to fund their care and do not have to sell their home until they want to or until it gets sold after their death to pay the loan back to us. A version of this is already available here in Bath and North East Somerset. From April 2016 there will be a limit on the total amount of money that people have to spend on their own care and support. We now have a legal duty to reach out to everyone from our most vulnerable and inaccessible residents to those who are able to pay for their own care but may not realise what is available. The Care Act is in line with our corporate advice and information strategy to share information in a way that everyone can understand on everything from weekly lunch clubs or community bus services to specialist financial advice, companies that install domestic equipment for people with disabilities and support groups for people with mental health needs or addiction. We need to ensure strong links between our services and providers in this area so that nobody falls through the gaps. 2
3 How are we doing this? Different groups are working locally on changes to the way we work, whether that is: providing information how we decide who needs support how we calculate what people need to contribute to care costs how services are set up for people what happens when people leave children s services because they have turned 18 or when they move to a different council area As we strive to give people the type of support they are asking for we have to find ways of work more effectively now and in the future. Every day more and more people go online to find information they need, so we are making our online information about care and support much more user focused. It will include information that is relevant to users, using language that everyone can understand, including accessible formats like video/audio/easyread and clearly linking to our partner organisations who can provide more help. Information for professionals will be in a separate area. Frontline council and service providers staff are helping us compile a list of commonly asked questions that could be dealt with online. Please get in touch if you would like to be part of this conversation. There will be a national leaflet drop and radio ad campaign in February. Locally, we are producing printed material and placing stories through internal communication channels and in the media about how care and support is provided in Bath and North East Somerset and the improvements that the Care Act brings. We are liaising with our partners and our neighbouring councils to ensure we avoid duplication. Ultimately, we aim to keep people safer and healthier. Once the online area has been updated, we will be promoting this through various channels. Over the next weeks and months we will be sending you updates and communications materials. Details of what we will be producing can be found on pages 6 11, examples include: workshops to share how we are improving our information and advice linking text and a logo for you to put on your website to ensure that people who click through from our website, know that they are in the right place details of the Department of Health leaflets/posters that will be distributed in some areas and those we are producing locally We will be communicating with you in slightly different ways depending on your level of interaction with our target groups (see page 5). Our key messages will be about how our residents care and support needs will now be met, carers assessments for everyone and financing care. We need to communicate this to our residents before the end of March. 3
4 What can you do? Help us share, promote, and keep up to date Please can you incorporate the materials and communications we have planned (see pages 6-11) into your own communications plans. Do let us know details of any newsletters, internal and/or external channels that you would like some content for. Please share with us any inspiring and thought provoking stories about care and support that we could use in media releases and other communications. These will help us highlight care and support in Bath and North East Somerset and help promote our improved online information, the new support for carers and the changes in financing care and support that the Care Act brings. Is the online information about the services you are involved in up to date and easy to understand? Through Wellaware and also directly from our website we will be signposting users to other organisations who can help. The reputation of the online information area depends on details being relevant and current, so we need your help in keeping it this way. The future Looking beyond April 2015, we will be working with you all to continue improving the way we communicate and link together. We will keep you updated on our developments and innovations like a care and support app, improved customer reviews and more. We hope you will do the same. Who are you?* Signposters: If your role involves some contact with our target audiences, then we would like you to have a good general awareness of the Care Act changes and an ability to point any members of the target audiences and/or their friends/family in the right direction to information that will help them find out about care and support in Bath and North East Somerset. Disseminators: If your role involves providing information and advice about care and support to our target audiences then we will be asking you to help us disseminate communications materials about the changes that the Care Act brings. These materials will be about carers assessments and information about the care and support on offer in Bath and North East Somerset. Everyone: Our ultimate aim is that all residents in Bath and North East Somerset will have some idea that these changes have happened and what it means for them and/or people they know. *If you think you are in the wrong category, please let us know Contact: my_caremysupport@bathnes.gov.uk with any questions, comments or contributions 4
5 Communicating the Care Act: the plan Who needs to know? Our ultimate target audiences (listed to the right) may be living at home, in care homes or hospitals. They may be state-supported or self-funders. However many of these people will not seek their information directly so we need to ensure we are communicating with everyone who comes into contact with them. Ultimate target audiences Carers Older People Disabled People, including those with sensory impairments People with long-term health conditions People with mental health needs People who may be vulnerable for multiple reasons (e.g. health, housing, unemployment) People experiencing a crisis (e.g. bereavement, debt) People wanting to plan for their future care and support needs (including paying for care) Young people in transition to adulthood People who are subject to safeguarding concerns, or who might wish to report a safeguarding concern 5
