Future of Prevention Programme Interim Report

What is a delivery model for proactive prevention? ONE OF THE KEY AIMS OF THE PROGRAMME IS TO CO-PRODUCE A DELIVERY MODEL FOR PROACTIVE PREVENTION WHICH WILL ENABLE THE APPROACH TO BE APPLIED AT PACE AND SCALE

Why do we need a deliver model for proactive prevention?

How is the delivery model being developed?

The challenge of meeting rising demand in an environment of financial pressure affects adult social care services nationally. At present, there are increasing examples of proactive prevention being used to tackle this challenge, and authorities are starting to see some very positive impacts through this approach. However, the pace and scale of impact is currently constrained because generally, authorities are trialling preventative approaches individually, designing their own prevention methodology and delivery models. This is inevitably not as time- or cost- effective as authorities being able to use a tried and tested approach, learning from what has worked (or not worked) elsewhere. As a result, to help accelerate the pace and scale of proactive prevention in adult social care, authorities participating in the Future of Prevention programme are working to develop a delivery model that will show the key steps to deliver proactive, targeted prevention for older people at scale. This delivery model will be able to be used by adult social care services anywhere in the country, to plan, design and deliver proactive prevention interventions to improve outcomes and reduce costs. For example, an authority wishing to prevent the number of people entering residential care due to carer breakdown could use the delivery model to plan, design and deliver the most effective interventions to meet this aim.

The delivery model will be: • Structured around existing frameworks for delivering proactive prevention for older adults. • Built on the wealth of examples and best practice that already exists around delivering prevention. • Able to be ‘picked up’ by local leaders and to support local delivery of prevention. • Linked to a standardised way of evidencing benefit and impact generated by the model • Accompanied by an evaluation framework which will show how the impact and benefits of proactive prevention interventions can be evaluated consistently and robustly.

The delivery model is currently being developed by the organisations participating in the programme and will be published in the programme’s final report in summer 2025. It will then be available to be used by all local authorities nationally.
