Portsmouth Appreciative Inquiry - Developing Strengths-Based Approaches

Portsmouth Adult Social Care (ASC) is committed to adopting strengths-based approaches. To help it do this it appointed Alder Advice, in the Summer of 2023, to undertake a co-productive appreciative inquiry process. The aims were to:

• Identify progress made to date.
• Recognise strengths to build on.
• Identify improvement opportunities.

NW London Appreciative Inquiry – Evaluation of the pilot Keyworker Service

Bradford Looked After Children Placements

Board Members at the new Braford Children's Trust were concerned that the number of Looked After Children and the average cost of placements for them were both rising unsustainably. They, therefore, appointed Alder Advice in the summer of 2023 to conduct research into what is driving demand/need up and to identify opportunities to better manage demand in the future.
