| Abstract | Across the UK there is a growing and significant emphasis on the outcomes that are important to people who use services and their unpaid carers. This development has been welcomed by people who use, plan and provide services; ensuring that individuals are supported to live the best lives possible whilst ensuring effective use of resources. Within Scotland, Talking Points: A Personal Outcomes Approach has been developed for Social Care and Health partnerships underpinned by two key principles; • Better inclusion of service users and carers in decisions around their care and support • Support provided should deliver good outcomes for service users and carers This study draws on literature and research to reflect on the key features of an Outcomes approach, the policy and practice context of Social Care within which it has emerged and the required organisational effort and involvement to sustain its implementation. It specifically describes the Collaborative Inquiry process adopted within Stirling Council Social Care in support of Outcomes and reports on the cumulative analysis of the findings generated within the Inquiry and an evaluation of its effectiveness. It confirms the links between outcomes, generative learning and whole systems thinking, evidences the value of practitioner participation in systems change and presents a model of organisational learning that enhances organisational relationships and effectiveness whilst remaining focused on the centrality of service users and the outcomes that matter to them. |
