Young People's Strategic Review

Homeless Strategic Review

Why undertake a strategic review?

The aim of undertaking a strategic review  is to re-evaluate the current housing and support options available in Worcestershire.  Services have evolved over time mainly on a district by district basis.  The strategic review provides the opportunity to ensure a greater degree of planning and commissioning of future provisions. This will be in line with current and future needs and in line with relevant strategies to ensure joined up working.  

This will be a countywide and holistic review to encapsulate the views of current and ex clients, staff, management committees and stakeholders/referrers.  

Project Governance & Structures

Project Teams are set up to review the current provision for a particular client group, consolidate current good practices within Worcestershire and establish the needs and gaps in current service provision.To add to this research is undertaken, including visiting services considered to be good practice across the country. consultation will take place with current and ex-service users and providers to establish if there are other options/types of support that may have been chosen had they been available. An evaluation is carried out  to establish what would work best in Worcestershire and to adopt and share good practice with other agencies. The work of the Project Team is overseen by the project board. In some cases this is a specifically designated team of individuals; in other cases it is made up of members of CHOG+ (Cheif Housing Officer's Group plus other involved individuals).
