Background:
 The JIP in Yorkshire and Humber was formed in early 2007, and over a period of six months developed the “People Matter” strategy. This has a number of key objectives aimed at allowing people to live their own lives as they choose using services which are high quality, safe and promote independence, well-being and dignity.
 
The central planks of the ‘People Matter’ strategy are Personalisation, Commissioning, Improving Performance and Efficiency.
 
This project is within the scope of the regional programme for Personalisation for the Yorkshire & Humberside which was originally developed by the In Control’s Regional Forum. The overall regional programme for personalisation provides a framework for responding to all the four quadrants of personalisation and offers a framework of distinct work-streams by which to drive forward commissioning and personalisation across the region. 
 
Delivery: 
·         To achieve better health, well being and increased independence for the people of Yorkshire and the Humber.
·         To identify and facilitate the sharing of current best practice in respect of reablement across the region.
·         To support local councils to deliver high quality and effective reablement services through the use of best practice guidance.
·         To encourage good communication and shared learning across the region.
·         To support local councils to deliver efficiency savings through the development of reablement services.
 
 
Outcomes:
 The intended outcomes of the project will be:
·       increased knowledge of best practice in reablement,
·       an understanding of what works well and why
·       efficiency gains by sharing learning, thus reducing duplication of effort , and by reducing the risk of project ‘creep’ by using validated methods.
 
The outcomes reflect the aspiration of People Matter by ensuring that services are of a high quality and promote individual independence
 
The success of this project will be demonstrated by:
·      the availability of detailed best practice guidance on
        reablement that is accessible to councils across Yorkshire and the Humber.
·       Better intelligence on the work taking place across the Region with regard to reablement services and how it links into other key areas of development such as Telecare/Telehealth and the wider preventative agenda
·       Continued sharing of best practice through the network of reablement leads that will have been established as part of the project.
