Strengths Based Approaches in Adult Social Care

Speaker: Jill Manthorpe, Professor of Social Work and Director of the NIHR Health & Social Care Workforce Research Unit at King’s College London

In recent years there has been an increased interest in the implementing a strengths-based approach in adult social care. Partly driven by the imperatives of the Care Act, and partly by the wider aspirations of delivering a more personalised adult social care service, a wide range of different approaches and methods have been applied.

This webinar will explore:

• The policy context of strengths-based approaches, including the current context of a post COVID- 19 world;

• The range of theoretical approaches that are utilised under the strengths-based approaches;

• The implications these have for day to day practice across the range of different roles and services within adult social care;

• Messages from research regarding the evaluations of embedding strength based approaches.
