This guidance aims to support councils to prepare effectively for the implementation of the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act (SHROA) by improving oversight, strengthening provider relationships, and ultimately ensuring better outcomes for residents.
This document is a ‘how to’ guide for the development of a collaborative community approach to supporting the adult social care front door. Rather than being prescriptive, this guide aims to empower practitioners to think about what might work best in their local context and to provide the tools to help them.
This report identifies key aspects for establishing this new approach, encompassing core values (strength-based, co-production, empowering people) and working approaches (building networks, developing over time). These elements are essential for creating a high-quality alternative offer that operates alongside the traditional front door. The model has been reviewed and further tested in real-world applications. Rather than being prescriptive, it aims to empower practitioners to consider what will work best in their local context and provides tools to aid this process.
This report, developed in partnership with national and regional occupational therapy leaders, explores the unique role of occupational therapists in councils. It highlights their impact across housing, health, care, and employment, and sets out what the Government can do to unlock their full potential and support delivery of their missions.
