The proportion of persons reporting a long-standing condition, and experiencing it as non-limiting/limiting, is an indicator or recovery/non-recovery. Higher levels of positive wellbeing are associated with lower levels of limiting long-standing illness; through increased capability at ‘getting ill better’. 21 Odds of reporting long-standing illness as limiting Health Survey for England 2011; adjusted for age, sex, and employment status Quintiles of Wellbeing (WEMWBS scores) highest second third fourth lowest 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 Adjusted Odds Ratio 22 5.0 6.0 7.0 Odds of reporting long-standing illness as limiting Health Survey for England 2011; adjusted for age, sex, employment status and EQ5D components (pain, anxiety, mobility, self-care, daily activities) Quintiles of Wellbeing (WEMWBS scores) highest second third fourth lowest 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 Adjusted Odds Ratio 23 2.5 3.0 Two agendas for Public Health ‘Getting ill less’: interventions aimed at reducing incidence of illness, through reducing exposure to avoidable health risks. ‘Getting ill better’: Interventions aimed at earlier recognition of illness, and reducing inhibitions against becoming ill.

(see Bartley et al. JECH 2004; 58, 501-506) Recovery is: Universal; everyone is potentially able to recover, given access to recovery assets, and non-exposure to inhibitions, Non-clinical; recovery is to be distinguished from discharge from clinical treatment or long-term condition management, Transformational; recovery is conditional on acquiring the capability to change social context, such that the condition does not recur, Communicable; recovery is best achieved when co-produced within a community of recovering persons, supporting practitioners and reciprocal social partners. 26 Presentation title - edit in Header and Footer Jobs, Homes, Friends Employment and Job Security Being able to retain employed status while recovering; together with flexibility and capability for adjusting employment conditions to support recovery and reduce risk of recurrence. Housing and Financial Security Having access to secure and sufficient housing to support recovery; allied to assurance of sufficient financial resource (especially including access to benefit income) for housing to be sustainable without creating or exacerbating problems of debt. Wider Social Engagement and Shared Recreation Specifically, having access to mutual support from other recovering persons – as in ‘recovery communities’; but more widely in regular, non-work, engagement with friends and local neighbours outside of the immediate household, offering trust and being trusted. 27 Supporting local decision-making - the i-hit tool - Clare Perkins and Matt Hennessey Knowledge and Intelligence Team (North West) i-hit • Originally developed by the former North West Public Health Observatory, with Liverpool John Moores University, to support Salford PCT/LA and their partners in understanding where to invest to achieve maximum gain in life expectancy • Salford wanted to develop a model that would predict the effect on life expectancy of improving key determinants of health, through investment in effective public health interventions.

For me Creative Alternatives was a final attempt. At Creative Alternatives no one judged me, problems were shared and I have formed some special friendships. I have done many things through the programme which I never would have thought possible – they have encouraged me out of my comfort zone. Creative Alternatives has really increased my confidence in travelling to different places. Since leaving the programme I have been doing voluntary work. This was a big achievement for me as I had not worked for nine years as a result of anxiety. I loved seeing what a difference I could make to other people. I have halved my medication and now feel more in control of my anxiety, it doesn’t stop me from doing things as much as it used to, now I am living my life instead of just existing.

Matthew.ashton@knowsley.gov.uk Recommendation 1 That the strategic approach to domestic abuse be reviewed by: • Considering the strategic governance arrangements for domestic abuse; • The council and its partners considering joint commissioning arrangements for domestic abuse specific services to enable a more flexible use of resources; • Services focussing on addressing the behaviour of perpetrators as well as resolving the needs of the victim survivor; and, • Standards/expectations being developed in the response times to resolve domestic abuse incidents completely. Recommendation 2 That data and intelligence issues in relation to domestic abuse be resolved through: • Undertaking further work to improve the recording of domestic abuse across partner agencies and exploring other sources of insight (particularly for teenage intimate partner violence and child on parent abuse); and, • Exploring opportunities for the streamlining of referral forms from various agencies to ensure a consistent approach and improving referral processes particularly from the Vulnerable Persons Unit (VPU). Recommendation 3 Seek all opportunities to break the cycle of domestic abuse through a greater focus on prevention by: • Developing a systematic approach to the primary prevention of domestic abuse; • Considering the inclusion of evidence based programmes on violence and domestic abuse within the school curriculum and ensuring that their effectiveness is assessed; • Investigating further the content of parenting programmes and exploring the introduction of a specific module on domestic abuse; and, • Developing work with Her Majesty’s Prison Service that explores the use of more domestic abuse programmes/modules on programmes for prisoners where domestic abuse isn’t necessarily their trigger offence. Recommendation 4 That support for victim survivors is reviewed by: • Considering the threshold level and pathways for low-medium risk victim survivors; and, • Delivering training on domestic abuse awareness and how to support those affected to all front line responders including the police. Recommendation 5 That support for affected children is reviewed by: • Evaluating the effectiveness of programmes to identify and support the needs of children affected by domestic abuse and show they make a difference; • Reviewing the support for children affected by domestic abuse that fall below the threshold for wellbeing support and identify whether their needs are being adequately addressed; • Collecting insight from children and young people on the impact of domestic abuse and using this information to inform commissioning decisions; and • Testing the feasibility of rolling out Operation Encompass across Merseyside, through police colleagues given that some of Knowsley’s school age children may attend schools across local authority boundaries. Recommendation 6 That the way perpetrators are dealt with is reviewed by: • Assessing the long term effectiveness of existing perpetrator programmes; • Exploring the reasons why there are disproportionately higher levels of cracked and ineffective domestic abuse trials in Knowsley; • Exploring the greater use of sanctions for perpetrators who do not attend or complete community perpetrator programmes; • Considering the use of civil action against perpetrators of domestic abuse where criminal convictions are not possible; and, • Considering the broader use of Integrated Offender Management (IOM) for domestic abuse offenders to allow for a more intensive intervention to reduce the risk of reoffending and the risk of harm. Asset based alcohol and drug recovery Strategy “For too many people currently on a substitute prescription, what should be the first step on the journey to recovery risks ending there. This must change.” “The voluntary and community groups, charities and social enterprises sector will be encouraged and supported to get involved.” “We will encourage local areas to promote a whole family approach to the delivery of recovery services.” 71 Asset based alcohol and drug recovery Solutions Expert group chaired by Professor John Strang ‘For many people, treatment is an important part of their recovery journey.
