The Giving Practice at Philanthropy Northwest’s Post

Looking for some weekend reading? Our CEO, Richard Keyse, has penned a thought-provoking guest blog for the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) challenging the adult social care sector to stop and think. 🔗 Read the full blog on the ADASS website here: https://lnkd.in/e_V7dA7N "Rethinking Prevention: Are We Making a Costly Mistake?" explores how proactive and preventive intervention leads to better outcomes and long-term cost savings for councils. Key highlights: - Commentary on the concerning decrease in prevention investment - Success stories from Worcestershire and Cornwall - The power of preventative technology in action - A call for a national strategy on prevention in adult social care Richard argues that every pound not spent on prevention today could cost several pounds in crisis intervention tomorrow.

🚀 Introducing our new Connecting Communities Resource! 🚀 We’re excited to share our new resource - Together for Impact: Connecting Communities Partnership Case Study, developed by MCWH and Safe and Equal. This resource has been developed as part of the Connecting Communities program, which is a partnership between MCWH and Safe and Equal that supports grantees working to deliver primary prevention with and for multicultural and faith communities. Partnerships are a crucial tool for strengthening community-led primary prevention with multicultural communities, and strengthening practice more broadly within organisations seeking to engage multicultural and faith communities. Taking a partnership approach means looking closely at how organisations work together equitably, not just their project outcomes. In this case study, we tell the story of the partnership between MCWH and Safe and Equal – to share what worked and what’s needed for prevention partnerships between specialist and mainstream organisations. This resource highlights key learnings about good partnership practice and demonstrates the benefits and impact of focusing on equitable partnership practice in primary prevention.

Practitioners are encouraged to take part in the Advocacy and Policy Data Collection Project (APDCP) focus groups on the 8th and 9th of May. These focus groups will unpack APDCP survey results, such as… 12 out of 99 respondents said they intend to leave the profession for reasons other than retiring – why could this be the case? The DVA was commonly cited as an unsustainable funding body to work with – why is this so and how do other funding bodies compare? How do the NDIS Quality and Safeguard Commission requirements help us provide safe and high-quality services? Practitioners did not need to complete the APDCP survey to take part in the focus groups. Details on how to register for the focus groups will be emailed to practitioners in the coming weeks. Head to the AOPA website for further detail. https://bit.ly/3TEaiXv
