The Lead Officer Sharing Practice Network is for Local Authority and Health Partnership staff with commissioning, planning and service coordinating responsibilities related to unpaid carers and service users – including short break (respite care) provision.
The aim of the Network is to offer a time-protected space to exchange information on the planning and commissioning of short break and respite care provision. Network events are facilitated by Shared Care Scotland and hosted by members. Two network events are arranged per year and separate ‘Think Tank’ workshops are arranged to explore any policy or practice related issues emerging from these events. Currently (December 2017 – June 2018), we have Think Tank looking at the effective development of Short Break Service Statements.
