CREATE Swansea Mental Health Services
CREATE (Community Rehabilitation Employment Assessment Training Enterprise)
Why CREATE Was Form contd..
Further agreement was reached on the development of a ‘one-stop’ referral and assessment process, which would allow Care Managers to submit one referral, which would lead to the provision of a single assessment for the service user, which would provide information on, and access to, all available services in the City & County Of Swansea. This process has considerably improved access to services and made the possibility of offering ‘mix & match’ packages of service, tailored to individual need, a reality.
 Is managed by a ‘Steering Group’ comprised of representatives from each of the partner organisations and has led to a much more dynamic and collaborative approach to the provision of services. The increased willingness of partners to share ideas and to support colleagues in developing services has been extremely heartening. A joint information video and CD-Rom has been commissioned, for distribution to Care Managers and service users to widen the access to information on services available.
Is a model for joint working which could be replicated in any area of Wales. Our experience has shown that such collaboration highlights the strengths of different approaches to service provision, whilst maximising the opportunities for all areas to develop in a way which is complementary and mutually supportive.
