‘Get Britain Working’ is a national initiative from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The ‘Get Britain Working White Paper’ (Nov 2024), seeks to promote higher employment and reduced economic inactivity, whilst supporting individuals to enhance and improve their skills to transition into higher quality jobs.

All areas of England must develop local ‘Get Britain Working’ plans. Dorset Council, as Accountable Body, must deliver the plan across the Dorset Council (DC) and Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP) geographies in partnership with BCP Council, Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and the Integrated Care Board (ICB).

This Cabinet report seeks approval of the draft GD&BCPWP (see Appendix 1) for publication.

The Adult Social Care Prevention Strategy (2025-2030) sets out 5 key strategic priorities to reduce, delay or prevent the need for long term care and support for people living in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

The strategy has been shaped by the views and experiences of local people, carers, the voluntary and community sector and partners. It aims to develop a sustainable approach to prevention in adult social care. The strategy emphasises early intervention, the promotion of wellbeing, and collaboration with key partners, to not only prevent the development of long-term needs, but also to enhance the overall quality of life for people living in the BCP Council area.

In July 2024, BCP Cabinet and Full Council agree to support a four-year transformation programme called Fulfilled Lives, approving a total investment of £2.9m spanning the first three years.

The programme is made up of four inter-dependent projects:

·       How We Work

·       Short-Term Support

·       Self-Directed Support

·       Support At Home

An initial investment of £1.79m for the first 12 months of the programme was agreed, with progress monitored on a minimum six-monthly basis by members of the Health and Adult Social Care Overview & Scrutiny Committee.

The programme entered its delivery phase in January 2025 and, since then, progress reports were presented to Committee in January, March and July.

The release of the remaining £1.11m funding for the programme was approved by Cabinet and Full Council in July 2025, and this report provides a further brief update for the programme overall including a deeper focus, as requested, on the Self-Directed Support and Short-Term Support projects.

The Health and Adult Social Care Overview and Scrutiny (O&S) Committee is asked to consider and identify work priorities for publication in a Work Plan.

To receive a verbal update from the Portfolio Holder for Health and Wellbeing.
