The Future of Prevention
The scope of the programme was focused on older people at risk of crisis in the short- to medium-term. However, the principles of targeted, proactive prevention can be applied to many other public services, such as children’s social care, health and housing. Authorities participating in the programme are also using the approach to deliver their place-based neighbourhood health and care ambitions.
Shifting to a more preventative approach to public services is widely acknowledged to be crucial to delivering better life outcomes for individuals, whilst also enabling the long-term financial viability of these services. However, the way in which this shift can be achieved and scaled is not always clear. Over the last year, 20 local authorities have been participating in the Future of Prevention programme. As part of a Community of Practice, they have co-developed a delivery approach for implementing proactive, targeted prevention at scale. The approach – underpinned by predictive analytics, personalised interventions, and a robust approach to evaluation – represents an important step towards achieving the government’s ambitions for a preventative state, whereby services work proactively and collaboratively to improve outcomes and reduce need for formal support.
Drinks reception The programme partners are pleased to invite all colleagues to attend an informal drinks reception to launch the programme’s output. The event will provide an opportunity to find out more about the benefits that have been achieved by other local authorities through proactive, targeted prevention. We will also share details about a national initiative being planned which will develop the first large scale evidence base for proactive prevention and neighbourhood health.
