Developing National Care Standards - Commissioning
2025-12-10 14:00 - 16:00 UTC
As part of our initiative to influence the development of government proposed National Care Standards, we are inviting participants to share ideas to steer our development of recommendations in respect of commissioning. The question essentially is how can commissioning develop and adapt to support a future where we all “live in the place we call home, with the people and things we love doing things that matter to us in communities where we look our for each other”. This can include what support would be needed to help commissioning achieve this.

Practice Support for Cost Benefit Analysis of Strengths Based Early Action
2026-01-13 13:00 - 14:00 UTC
Members attending the Early Action and Asset-Based theme sessions have responded very positively to inputs from Jon and Joe and their academic colleagues at Hull and Sheffield. Many have asked for deeper follow up advice. Following on from the sessions earlier this year, SCF is delighted to be partnering further with the Universities of Hull and Sheffield during 2026 to support members in better evidencing the outcomes and impacts of their strengths-based prevention programmes.
Funded by the Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF) through the University of Hull, this collaboration will offer SCF members training and support to implement the team’s unique and innovative model for evidencing and evaluating these initiatives.
Over a period of seven months, a small cohort of members will be invited to take part in a free practice-focused series of training sessions led by the research team, equipping them to apply the model in their own local context. These sessions will be supplemented with online drop-ins offering one-to-one advice. Information from the workshop sessions/tools related to the model will also be made available to any SCF members who are interested, but not part of the training cohort. After this period, learnings and outcomes from the programme will be shared more widely to help positively shape local and national social care policy and strategy.
This is a very exciting opportunity for SCF members to learn how to demonstrate the value of strengths-based working in an effective, accurate and sustainable manner. Ideally, cohort participants will:
● already be working in a strengths-based manner across several initiatives
● already be collecting both qualitative and quantitative data on the impact of these initiatives
● be able to release (where possible, the same) staff to attend six half-day online workshops between January and July 2026
● have the capacity and motivation to apply the team’s model to their own strengths-based initiatives, drawing on support from the team as required
● be willing and able to reflect back to the team about the training, the model’s implementation and any insights generated
● be committed to helping SCF and the research team feed learning from the project into local and national policy thinking
For those interested in finding out more, we will be running an introductory session to the project on January 13th 1-2pm. If you would like to attend please use this link

Early action and asset-based commissioning: Asset-Based Commissioning Hub
2026-03-11 12:00 - 13:30 (Europe/London) | On Zoom
Early action and asset-based commissioning:
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are having to postpone the April 1st session which will be re-arranged later in the programme.
However, we are inviting you to a relevant session of the new Asset-Based Commissioning Hub on March 11th 12-1.30pm.
This is the first webinar of the Asset-Based Commissioning Hub established jointly by Think Local Act Personal and Social Care Future. In addition to webinars based on your needs the Hub will act as a repository of useful and practical materials and examples. It is a chance to go deeper into approaches and examples touched on in Social Care Future’s community of support meetings.
This webinar will look at how commissioning can be done differently in adult social care and beyond, showing why and how councils can make use of flexibilities allowed under procurement law. The session is aimed at commissioners, but all are welcome.
Presenters will include: Helen Sharp (Ideas Alliance) ; Angharad Metcalfe (Neath Port Talbot Council); Julian Blake (Stone King); Ian Gleadell (Thurrock Council)
