Opportunity overview

The IDeA as Partners in Care and Health (PCH) are working with the Social Care institute for Excellence and other well-respected organisations to support the delivery of sector led improvement for adult social care. PCH helps councils to improve the way they deliver adult social care and public health services and helps Government understand the challenges faced by the sector. The programme is a trusted network for developing and sharing best practice, developing tools and techniques, providing support, and building connections. It is offered to councils without charge. Reading’s CQC assessment was published 10th October 2025. CQC feedback highlighted • delays in assessments and reviews, • inconsistent carers’ assessments • long delays in direct payments This project aims to address root causes, supporting sustainable service delivery and improvement outcomes for local people and carers. In order to address the areas highlighted by the CQC the Council wishes to manage demand, reduce waiting times and implement sustainable system change in Adult Social Care. The aim is to establish a robust, evidence led prevention framework for Adult Social Care, with a focus on improved outcomes for residents, demand reduction, delayed escalation into statutory services and reduced pressure on ASC front door including the Advice and Wellbeing Hub and Hospital pathways.
