A problem shared: making best use of resources in adult social care

Report designed to support sector-led improvement. It aims to:

  • review the evidence about how budget reductions have been achieved so far, and draw out lessons that can be learned
  • pull together messages from research and guidance produced since 2009
  • reinforce the importance of benchmarking, sharing good practice and developing a stronger, more accessible evidence base
  • suggest some next steps, including further tools and guidance that could help the sector manage future budget pressures.

Child poverty outcomes models: an international review

Rapid review that pulls together evidence from three very different countries on how each has conceptualised the problem of child poverty and how they have tried to prevent or reduce it.

The countries were selected based on their diversity to one another and the unique lessons each can bring to bear on NI.
