Local Care Partnerships (LCPs) is the term used in Leeds to describe our model of joined-up working to deliver local care for local people; working in and with local communities.
Local Care Partnerships build on Leeds City Council’s strong history, NHS and third sector (community organisations) staff working together.
Recognising the city’s diversity, they are tailored to local need and the features of that particular community.
This podcast aims to create a platform to feature activity happening in Local Care Partnerships hearing the diverse voices of people involved.
Making Stuff Better - Episode 21 - Domestic abuse prevention and support in Seacroft
In this episode we hear from Seacroft Local Care Partnership in Leeds who recognised the significant need to respond to Domestic Abuse, particularly as a result of COVID -19.
But why a focus on Domestic Abuse?
Police reported receiving a call every 30 seconds during the first 7 weeks of lockdown in 2020
The National Domestic Abuse helpline reported a 49% increase of calls to the helpline and Refuge (UK’s largest domestic abuse charity) reported a 120% increase in calls.
In the Killingbeck and Seacroft Ward between (Nov 2018 and Oct2019) WY Police reported 87% of calls are domestic related.
The Boggart Hill area is ranked 4th highest in domestic violence occurrences
The average cost per domestic abuse victim is £34,015
Cost of physical and emotional harm accounts to £47 billion and productivity loss is £14 billion
Some stark figures there.
In their aim of making stuff better, the Local Care Partnership delivered a co-ordinated partnership response for the benefit of local people, which started with a month of awareness raising and taking action and continuing into following months.

Making Stuff Better - Episode 20 - A Team Leeds Chat about Menopause
#MakingStuffBetter with Team Leeds Chats - but what is Team Leeds Chats?
In Leeds, approximately 57,000 people work in health and care. We have some of the most skilled and passionate teams in the world, and your skills and experience are making a real difference to real people. By working even better together as one health and care team, we can make an even bigger difference to peoples’ outcomes, as well as improving support to each other to address the system challenges that we face.
Team Leeds is not a new concept. There are already great examples of how working together has made a real difference. We are producing a series of Team Leeds Stories to highlight great examples of existing health and care partnerships, and to inspire Leeds health and care workers to work even better together.
A number of focus groups have been hosted, bringing Team Leeds colleagues together to share unique experiences of living and working during the pandemic.
We have heard many inspiring examples of how people already work in partnership with other teams and organisations improving health and care outcomes and experiences of care.
Some Team Leeds Chats focussed on specific groups, including those who are seldom heard, such as unpaid carers, workforce from ethnically diverse groups, and health and care students / apprentices (learners)
Covid-19 has disproportionately impacted certain groups of people and recognising this, a Team Leeds Chat was hosted with members of our health and care teams belonging to Leeds and York Partnership Foundation Trust Menopause Support Group.
18 women were asked to share their experiences of living and working during the pandemic, whilst experiencing symptoms of perimenopause and menopausal transition.
In this episode, you will hear from some of these women who want to share their stories and experience.
