Social Return on Investment position paper

Social Return on investment (SROI) is a hot topic at the minute. Yet many charities and funders do not fully understand how SROI works or whether it is a tool they should be using.

SROI can be seen as a type of economic analysis closely related to cost-benefit analysis. It focuses on listening to stakeholders and identifying the outcomes that are important to them, and then putting a financial value on these outcomes.

As a leading voice in the field of charity effectiveness, NPC has been asked several times for its perspective on SROI , which is why we have written this position paper. The paper sets out our position on how and when SROI is most useful, based on our experience of working with charities and on our understanding of SROI in principle and practice. It discusses what NPC sees as the defining characteristics of SROI and seeks to clarify and set straight some common misunderstandings. The structure of the paper is as follows:

1. What is SROI?
2. Common misconceptions about SROI
3. Should I do an SROI?
4. Using elements of the SROI framework
5. Areas for development
6. Conclusion

In the paper we argue that the full potential of SROI is currently not being exploited. Firstly, many charities that calculate their SROI see it only as a fundraising tool, rather than a management tool that could help them learn where their impact is greatest and how they could improve their activities.  And secondly low levels of evidence in the charity sector hold SROI back from being adopted more widely. SROI is an approach that demands evidence and helps charities think through where more evidence is needed, but it does not tell charities how to collect this evidence. SROI will not be an option open to more charities and funders until there is more investment in improving the evidence base of the sector.

LONDON HIV STRATEGY - LSCG Jan 2005
LSCG strategy Jan 2005

Executive summary

 

  1. Background

The London HIV strategy sets the priorities for planning, delivery and development of HIV treatment and care services for the next 3 years. It also outlines areas of Pan-London partnership on HIV prevention. It updates the previous London HIV strategy (2000-2003) that was sent for consultation but was not published. Since this time, there have been many drivers that showed the need for London to have a strategic steer for HIV services, that include:

  • London SCG’s HIV review report, January 2004
  • Greater London Assembly’s Scrutiny report of HIV services, May 2004
  • Choosing Health, Government’s White Paper, November 2004.

This strategy was developed by the HIV strategic planning and modernisation sub-group whose members includes people with HIV, representatives from HIV clinicians, service management, PCTs and Strategic Health Authorities.

It takes account of feedback gathered from a 2 month consultation that included:

  • UK Coalition of people living with HIV/AIDS who were commissioned to get input from people with HIV, Pan-London HIV providers group
  • HIV provider agencies; Government office for London
  • PCTs, Local Authority and Strategic Health Authorities (SHAs).

The HIV strategy forms part of the London Strategic Health Authorities’ Sexual Health Framework. This integrates the HIV strategy into mainstream NHS policy implementation in London. The strategy is led and co-ordinated by the London HIV consortium on behalf of the London Specialised Commissioning Group. Its audience are people with HIV, NHS and Foundation Trust HIV treatment and care services and their staff, London PCTs and Strategic health authorities.

The Manifesto for Londoners

The Manifesto for Londoners sets out London Councils' case for devolution of powers from Whitehall and quangos to London boroughs to enable us to meet the economic and social challenge of doing more, and better, with less.

The manifesto examines the position of London as uniquely suited for devolution, looking at its strengths and notable successes as well as the difficulties posed by its diversity and inequality.

To help London boroughs deliver more for Londoners, the manifesto sets out some key areas where devolution would improve services and reduce costs:

  • Health and social care
  • Worklessness
  • Adult skills
  • Local policing
  • Community justice and offender management
  • Child safety and achievement
  • Transport
  • Housing and investment
  • Climate change and retrofitting
  • Public places and public behaviour
  • The deal for devolution

Read a short summary of proposals in each of these policy areas on the 'manifesto in summary' page

Next steps

Behind the manifesto, we are working towards more detailed business cases that show how boroughs, building on what they have already put in place individually and in groups, can deliver for Londoners.

We'd like to hear your comments and opinions on the manifesto. You can add any comments below and read what others have been saying...

Direct Payments and individual budgets - City of London

Being independent is about having choice and control on how to live your life.  By using Direct Payment or an Individual Budget you decide how your personal support is provided.

You can choose how your needs will be met, by whom and at what time. You make the decisions!

How do Direct Payments work?

Very simply, we give you funding to pay for services arranged by you. We do this by firstly working with you to identify your needs. Based on this assessment, we agree the type of support and the number of hours of support you need in a typical week.We then work out the cost of providing this service to you, and agree to give you this amount of money per week to arrange your own services. You use this money to buy the care you need.

Who is eligible for Direct Payments?

You are able to apply for Direct Payments if:

  • you are assessed as being entitled to Community Care Services and are aged 16 or over.
  • or if you are a parent or a carer of a disabled child, or a carer assessed as needing a service in his/her own right.

What would I have to do?

You and your social worker will draw up a plan, (including what may happen in emergencies) showing how you will manage your Direct Payments. You will be required to comply with the laws governing employment of staff, as well as our equal opportunities policy. From time to time you will also be required to complete a financial monitoring form.

Who can I employ?

You cannot employ:

  • Your husband, wife or partner

Or, if they live with you:

  • Your parents or your children
  • Your ‘in-laws’ or step children
  • Your brother, sister, aunt or uncle
  • Your grandparents.

If you have any questions about anything on Direct Payments or would like to learn more, please contact Adult Social Care through the Contact Centre on 020 7332 1224 or by email at contact.centre@cityoflondon.gov.uk.
