Workshop on Conversations approach

The 3 Conversations model has been adopted across Adult Social Care and is the way that we support people.  Our aim is to help people regain independence and control following illness or when the person has a Long Term Condition.

 

In essence, the model is a move away from unnecessarily protracted processes and questioning to one that is proportionate and driven by the person.

 

The previous approach involved formal assessment of individuals’ presenting to Adult social care to ensure they met eligibility criteria.  This has been replaced with a more natural conversation to drill down on the presenting issues, problem solving together to find sustainable solutions.  The model can only work when we build on what is already working for the individual (their strengths).  Not only to find out what things the person has around them to help, but also to help the individual reflect and recognise the things they are succeeding with.   The approach focuses on applying a “Common Approach to Common Sense” enabling practitioners to be more creative and responsive using a three stage approach.

 

The 3 stages are briefly illustrated below:

 

       A 1st Conversation is aimed at helping people whether or not they are eligible under the Care Act.  The focus is on short term, quality interactions as early help or to prevent / delay need.

 

       A 2nd Conversation focuses on Short Term Interventions to help the person to resolve an immediate need or crisis.  The aim of a 2nd Conversation is for the person to regain control and independence.

 

       The 3rd Conversation is the point at which long term support is established under our statutory processes and duties (these will be people who meet our statutory eligibility criteria)
