South West Development Centre | Mental Health & Employment

What's happening in your area?

One of the key messages in the range of policies is the need to work across organisational boundaries. Here in the SWDC we aim to share learning and good practice examples from across organisations.
We have a lot to learn from learning disabilities services as well as the third and private sectors and therefore will be sharing stories from a wide range of settings to help inspire the work you might do locally.
Congratulations to Somerset who have been granted Individual Placement & Support Centre of Excellence Status and also to Devon who have been granted an emerging status for IPS from the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health.

Mosaic of Local Services

Recent policy all points us towards getting better at working across boundaries at a local level. These reports help broaden our understanding of how we can deepen our knowledge of what that means in our own patch.
