Bradford and the Total Place programme
Bradford was one of the 13 Total Place pilots announced as part of the Budget Report in April 2009.
Each pilot has its own focus, a theme which supports local priorities. Bradford District’s overall theme is supporting people back to independence, with the aim of integrating services around the individual.
Our Total Place pilot project has asked fundamental questions about how public spending in Bradford fits with the priorities of the Bradford District Partnership, and how services can be improved to drive improved outcomes and greater efficiency.
Bradford District Partnership (BDP) owns the Total Place project and its partners have worked together to identify an overall theme of providing a ‘gateway to integrated services’. We agreed to develop our methodology by focusing on three key themes:
- Children leaving a care environment
- Older people leaving hospital/care environments
- Offenders leaving prison
By focusing on these three themes we believe we can both improve the experience of the service users, and have a significant positive impact on the wider Bradford District community.
Although work on the pilot is now complete, we see this as creating the template for how we will work together over the coming years.
