| Annotation | The Emerging Role of the Warden Project was undertaken by a consortium of registered social landlords (RSLs) and other housing organisations in 1997/98. The aim of the Project was to promote effective partnerships between RSLs, social service departments (SSDs) and health authorities, by highlighting current developments in sheltered housing. It focused on the changing role of sheltered housing staff and the contribution they can make to community care. This summary of the main findings outlines the Project's impact and achievements. Also included are five case studies of good practice: Circle 33 Housing Trust Ltd in Camden; Newcastle on Tyne City Council and Newcastle City Health Trust; North Hertfordshire District Council and Hertfordshire Social Services; DartHomes and Kent Social Services; and the Sir Oswald Stoll Foundation. Checklists for improving joint working are given for: social services; hospital discharge teams/co-ordinators; GPs, project managers and community nurses; and sheltered housing providers. (RH). |
