Joint Health and Social Care Self-Assessment Framework 2014
The 2014 Joint Health and Social Care Self-Assessment Framework will run from September 2014 to March 2015. This page provides all the instructions that should be needed.
---------- UPDATE ------------
The spreadsheet for sending us your data is now available. You will find this at the bottom of this page.
The process
The documents at the bottom of the page provide all the details of how the exercise should be run locally and how peer-validation should be organised by your regional NHS and local government colleagues.
Health and Social Care partners in local partnership boards should work together and in collaboration with self-advocates with learning disabilities and carers in developing an initial set of responses to self assessment questions.
A draft of the answers should be compiled.
There will be some form of peer support workshops organised by NHS England Regional offices and ADASS regional groups to provide assistance in ensuring that questions are answered consistently by all areas. This will be organised locally.
Agreed answers should be loaded up onto the IHaL website. More detailed instructions about how to do this will follow. We recommend that you do this after your local peer support workshops.
Finally the agreed report should be discussed by your local Health and Wellbeing Board to inform priorities for next years work.
What the questions cover
The format for the SAF questions is broadly unchanged from 2013. It has the same three sections with nine items in each. The definitions and guidance have been revised mainly to make them clearer. In two questions the SAF specifically asks for direct views of carers and/or self-advocates.
There are a lot fewer number questions. The ones that all relate to how many people with what level of disabilities your area needs to provide care for, and their health and local healthcare. CCGs will be the key partners in ensuring that these numbers are available.
Most of the number questions that local Partnership Boards are not being asked to answer this year can now be answered from nationally available data sources. The Learning Disabilities Observatory will provide the answers to these.
Data entry will be through a website similar to the one used last year. This will be available from later in September. Further instructions will be posted. at that stage.
Information about the process and findings of the 2013 JHSCSAF can be found here.
An email help line for questions is available at ldsaf@phe.gov.uk. We are not able to support telephone enquiries. We will be posting Questions asked and our responses to them on our Questions and Answers (QandA) page.
Progress
There is a progress page here. This will show which local areas have reached milestones that we are aware of. At present the only milestone showing is whether we are in touch with you. At present there is no hurry about this. However if you would like to let us have email contact details of the person leading on the SAF in your area we will see they are kept in touch with the process.

Self-assessment form
Please find below the Microsoft Excel form for sending your data about the learning disabilities self-assessment to the learning disabilities observatory. We had hoped it would be possible to provide an online facility but this has proved impossible this year.
Please return only one form per local authority to ldsaf@phe.gov.uk. Please do not send separate spreadsheets for different parts of your service as we will not be able to amalgamate these.

This version of the self assessment form has removed the glitch which affects the "completeness" status for some of the questions. Some sections were indicating they were incomplete when all of the questions in the section had been answered.

(In response to requests for copies of 'The Form' (see QandA page, Governance and Information section, Q1). The website will not however by used. As we said when we posted them, you cannot use this file for sending data to us. We will only be able to accept data submitted in the spreadsheet supplied above.
