This session takes place on Tuesday 3 December 2024, from 10.30am to 11.45am
Delivered as a webinar via Teams
This is our opening webinar in the SMD Learning Series.
Changing Futures Nottingham is one of 15 areas across the country working to improve the lives of people experiencing multiple disadvantage using person-centred approaches and linking in a wrap-around support network of services.
As part of its delivery model, Changing Futures Nottingham has created embedded practitioner roles that are hosted within statutory services focused on improving how these areas work for people experiencing severe and multiple disadvantage (SMD) both as separate services and in partnership. They are embedded in services that people who experience SMD interact with and rely upon to meet their needs, such as mental health, housing, primary care, probation and Adult Social Care.
This session will be a discussion of the impact of the SMD specialist practitioner roles on the local system after one year, drawing on insights from a recent evaluation report produced by the Changing Futures Learning and Evaluation team.
This webinar will enable you to hear from the authors of the report, as well as directly from the embedded practitioners themselves, to learn more about their individual roles and the different successes and challenges faced. There will also be opportunities to ask questions at the end via an interactive Q&A with the authors and presenters, as well as Bobby Lowen, Changing Futures Programme Director..
You can read a summary of the evaluation report here.
