Summary
The Department for Health and Social Care, with support from SCIE, has released resources designed to help social workers / social care professionals to apply “strengths-based” approaches in their work with adults.
“Strengths-based practice is a collaborative process between the person supported by services and those supporting them, allowing them to work together to determine an outcome that draws on the person’s strengths and assets”.

There was an earlier 2017 report.
“Working in a collaborative way promotes the opportunity for individuals to be co-producers of services and support rather than solely consumers of those services”.
