Self‐Assessment Framework (SAF) 2016 Update

Presented by Michelle Snook

Commissioning Officer, Integrated Learning Disability Services

The plan was to tell people about the new SAF process by Autumn 2016. The learning disability health Self‐ Assessment Framework started to be used in England in 2007. The framework is an important way for the NHS and councils to work together with people with learning disabilities and families.

2016

Background

• The SAF has helped local areas find out

what is working well and work out what was important for the health service and councils.

• This work was really important to make

health and social care services for people with a learning disability better.

Progress Update NHS England and the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) who led the SAF from 2013 agreed that there was a need look at the SAF and see if it needed to change. A group of experts started to work

• n the questions for the SAF.

The SAF questions are in 3 main areas:

• People are able to have a life
• People feel involved, protected

and respected

• Peoples health and social care

needs are met

The questions are linked to important areas in the Department of Health’s Learning Disability Action Plan.

Questions?

The SAF questions would ask how well things are going in local areas by asking people their experiences of using or working in the services.

What are Kent doing in relation to the last SAF Report in 2014
