Team Around Me Training

You may be aware that there has been some work around making changes to the A2A system and how it is delivered. As part of that change, the A2A will be known as ‘The Hub’, becoming more person-centred and trauma informed. As part of this approach, we will be adopting the ‘Team Around Me’ model.

The roll out of the Team Around Me (TAM) is being supported by Changing Futures and will be piloted by The Hub.

Team Around Me (TAM) is a model for holding case conferences or multi-agency meetings for people experiencing multiple disadvantage, which truly puts the person at the centre of their own support. The Team Around Me structure can be used for any meeting where professionals need to come together to support someone who has care and/or support needs. Different services call these meetings different things – multi-agency team meetings (MATs), case conferences, professionals’ meetings, Multi- Disciplinary Team (MDT) meetings - and meetings often don’t have consistent structures or agendas. TAM provides a clear, consistent, strengths-based, trauma informed and co-produced way to hold any of these meetings, in any circumstance.

Aims of Plymouth TAM project:

• To ensure that people experiencing multiple disadvantages in Plymouth are at the center of their multi-agency support plans, by ensuring that their personally identified goals and challenges are central to any actions being agreed and taken.
• To improve multi-agency working between different services in Plymouth, by ensuring goals are shared, each service is clear on what action they should be taking, and any challenges and risks are discussed and managed collaboratively.
• To enable services in Plymouth to gather data on service level and systemic issues which affect the people they support, so they can feed this data back to system and area leaders in Plymouth in order to evidence the need for changes to service design and delivery/additional resources.

As we move toward The Hub and the TAM model, we would like to invite you and your staff to an in-person training session on how to implement the TAM in your service and how it can be used in The Hub meetings.
