August 2016

This resource was produced by Cordis Bright on behalf of the Welsh Government. It provides examples of effective practice of joint approaches to delivering post-16 Employment, Training and Employment (ETE) opportunities for young people in the criminal justice system. The resource draws upon feedback from professionals of `what works`across a range of organisations to support the co-ordination of ETE provision. There are also a number of case studies illustrating the effective practice already taking place.

Detailed information about the resource is available here.

Impact of assistive technology

August 2016

Our recent evaluation for Nottingham City NHS Clinical Commissioning Group on telecare and telehealth services showed that:

• There is a strong agreement among service users that the equipment is easy to use, makes users feel safer in their homes, and would be recommended to friends and family.
• Main motivations to using this technology were to prevent problems or accidents and to relieve the care burden from others
• There are high levels of satisfaction with the way equipment had been installed and maintained, as well as the way in which people had been shown how to use it.
• The support that the technology provided helped contribute to a reduction in health and social care spend of £333 per service user.
