| The research for the project overall is based on case study visits to examine best practice in the UK. There are also 5 international case studies to broaden the research. The case studies do not only look at success, but also examples of where person-centred planning has not worked, in order to understand why. This research would look at the basic building blocks of participative person centred services including: assessment and self-assessment techniques; distributed and individual budgets; person centred planning tools; changing professional roles; risk management and regulation; person centred measures of outcomes and effectiveness; role of informal and voluntary supports; supply side responses.At Cumbria, this will be done through: One to one interviews (with Chief Executive); Focus group (with local users of the service); round table meetings (with middle managers, senior management, front line staff, representative of the local voluntary sector). |

| The aim of the quantitative part of the research is to collate a number of pieces of data. The quantitative report will also evaluate the nature of drug use and drug services in Cumbria when compared to other shire counties (e.g. Staffordshire, Lincolnshire, Devon, Leicestershire). By talking to young individuals who have previously accessed services, or who are in high risk groups for accessing services in the future (e.g. young people involved in the criminal justice system; those excluded from school; those who have easy access to drugs) the researchers and the DAAT will be able to elucidate reasons for not accessing services, and the report will then recommend possible changes that could be implemented to improve. In summary, both reports are aimed at improving young peoples services in the Cumbria area. |
