suggested to improve accesss to and continuity of care, and consequently reduce future crisis situations.</p><p>There is currently little guidance with regard to the effectiveness of social work approaches to case management and care planning when there is an unplanned escalation of need. The aim of this review was to determine whether social work case management and care planning could improve outcomes for adults with complex needs during an escalation of need, or crisis situation. The review also aims to identify particular aspects of what does and not does work well for these interventions, in the opinion of all those involved.</p></div><div id="niceng216er4.s1.1.2"><h4>Summary of the protocol</h4><p>See <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK588603/table/niceng216er4.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figniceng216er4tab1" rid-ob="figobniceng216er4tab1">Table 1</a> for a summary of the Population, Intervention, Comparison and Outcome (PICO) characteristics of the effectivenessreview question.</p><p>Please see <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK588603/table/niceng216er4.tab2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figniceng216er4tab2" rid-ob="figobniceng216er4tab2">Table 2</a> for a summary of the Population and Phenomenon of interest for the qualitative review question.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figniceng216er4tab1"><a href="/books/NBK588603/table/niceng216er4.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table 1" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figniceng216er4tab1" rid-ob="figobniceng216er4tab1"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK588603/table/niceng216er4.tab1/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK588603/table/niceng216er4.tab1/?report=previmg" alt="Table 1.

Two prospective cohort studies from Canada (Reid 2012 and <a class="bibr" href="#niceng216er4.ref3" rid="niceng216er4.ref3">Semple 2021</a>), 1 retrospective cohort study from the UK (<a class="bibr" href="#niceng216er4.ref4" rid="niceng216er4.ref4">Timms 2016</a>), and 1 RCT from Australia (<a class="bibr" href="#niceng216er4.ref1" rid="niceng216er4.ref1">Alvarez-Jimenez 2021</a>) were included in this review. The RCT compared an online social therapy with case management, plus treatment as usual, to treatment as usual alone. The population was people with a first episode of psychotic disorder. One cohort study compared a critical time intervention with case management to a matched control group who did not receive the intervention following transfer from hospital. The population was adults experiencing homeless. One cohort study compared a crisis outreach team consisting of a police officer and a social worker to the police patrol without a social worker. The population was adults who contacted the police service in distress, including a mental health related distress. One study compared a cohort pre and post intervention, where the intervention was outreach by specialist services for people experiencing homelessness followed by a Mental Health Act assessment and detention by an approved mental health professional (AMHP).</p><p>Data were identified for the outcomes quality of life, access to care and support in a crisis measured by contact with services or health or social care practitioners, duration of crisis and hospital admissions.</p><p>No meta-analyses were conducted for the studies, as there was heterogeneity between the interventions.</p><p>The included studies are summarised in <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK588603/table/niceng216er4.tab3/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figniceng216er4tab3" rid-ob="figobniceng216er4tab3">Table 3</a>.</p><p>See the literature search strategy in <a href="#niceng216er4.appb">appendix B</a> and study selection flow chart in <a href="#niceng216er4.appc">appendix C</a>.</p></div><div id="niceng216er4.s1.1.4.2"><h5>Excluded studies</h5><p>Studies not included in this review are listed, and reasons for their exclusion are provided in <a href="#niceng216er4.appj">appendix J</a>.</p></div></div><div id="niceng216er4.s1.1.5"><h4>Summary of included studies</h4><p>Summaries of the studies that were included in the effectiveness review are presented in <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK588603/table/niceng216er4.tab3/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figniceng216er4tab3" rid-ob="figobniceng216er4tab3">Table 3</a>.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figniceng216er4tab3"><a href="/books/NBK588603/table/niceng216er4.tab3/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table 3" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figniceng216er4tab3" rid-ob="figobniceng216er4tab3"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK588603/table/niceng216er4.tab3/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK588603/table/niceng216er4.tab3/?report=previmg" alt="Table 3.

The evidence showed an important harm in terms of quality of life, with a lower quality of life in the intervention group when compared to the control group. Both groups showed an increase in quality of life when compared to baseline; however there was a greater increase in the control group than the intervention group. There was an important benefit for the intervention when compared to the control for emergency department visits. There was no important difference for hospital admissions due to mental health but a possible important benefit from the intervention in terms of hospital admissions due to psychosis.</p><p>A matched cohort study compared outcomes for people experiencing homelessness who had used a critical time intervention and case management approach with those who had not. Data were reported for the critical outcomes access to care and support in a crisis, measured by number of emergency department visits and number of outpatient visits; the duration of crisis, measured by number of days in hospital; and hospital admissions. There was an important harm for emergency department visits, with the intervention group showing an increased rate of visits when compared to the control group. There was an important benefit for the intervention group in terms of the rate of outpatient visits. There was no important difference between the interventions for the number of days in hospital and hospital admission.</p><p>One prospective cohort study comparing a crisis outreach team for people experiencing distress with a general police response, identified data for the critical outcome access to care and support in a crisis measured by contact with services or health or social care practitioners. These were measured by involuntary admissions via apprehension under the Mental Health Act. Data were also identified for the critical outcome hospital admissions measured by voluntary admissions to hospital. The data showed an important benefit for the crisis outreach team when compared to the control group for both outcomes.</p><p>One retrospective cohort study measured outcomes pre and post intervention where the intervention was an outreach specialist team for people experiencing homelessness. Data were reported for the critical outcome access to care and support in a crisis measured by contact with services or health or social care practitioners. For this study, the outcome was measured by registration with a general practitioner pre and post intervention. The evidence showed a benefit from the specialist outreach team, as there was an increase in registration with a general practitioner post intervention compared to pre intervention.</p><p>See <a href="#niceng216er4.appf">Appendix F</a> for full GRADE tables.</p></div><div id="niceng216er4.s1.1.8.2"><h5>Qualitative evidence</h5><p>The evidence generated 5 overarching themes regarding what does and does not work well in case management and care planning in the event of an escalation of need, from the perspective of practitioners and families. Five studies provided evidence relating to the negative aspects or what does not work well. Four studies provided evidence relating to responding to an escalation of need among people with mental health problems. Three studies provided evidence for practitioner satisfaction with case management and care planning. Three studies provided evidence for positive aspects or what works well.

The committee agreed that these outcomes would best reflect whether a person was adequately supported during an escalation of need, and whether they had access to services that would ensure longer-term support. Personal resilience, satisfaction with care planning and case management, timeliness, and access to a crisis plan were considered important outcomes. The committee chose these outcomes, as they would reflect whether the support received during an escalation of need helped to build resilience for future escalations of need and would highlight whether people were satisfied with the support. Timeliness was chosen as an important outcome as the committee agreed that support during an escalation should happen quickly to minimise the negative outcomes and help to minimise further escalations. The committee also wanted to find out whether support during an escalation resulted in access to a crisis plan, as this would give an indication of whether the response to any future escalations of need had been considered.</p><p>To address what does and does not work well for those involved, the second part of the review was designed to include qualitative data and as a result, the committee could not specify in advance the data that would be located. Instead, they agreed, by consensus, on the following main themes to guide the review, although the list was not exhaustive and the committee were aware that additional themes could be identified:

This was predominately because of risk of bias in most outcomes from observational studies, due to not controlling for confounding factors, and for bias in the selection of participants. Other concerns around risk of bias stemmed from participants being aware of their assignment to the intervention, missing outcome data and retrospective study designs and lack of a control group. Quality was also downgraded for imprecision around the effect estimate in some outcomes. Some outcomes were also downgraded for indirectness. This was due to inclusion of 16 and 17 years olds for some outcomes, inclusion of some case managers that were not social workers, or in some outcomes no specific mention of social worker involvement. When this was the case, social worker involvement was assumed as the intervention was delivered by case managers whose role in the intervention was similar to the role social workers undertake outside the study context.</p><p>Inconsistency was not applicable because only 1 study reported data for each outcome.</p><p>No evidence was identified for the following outcomes: personal resilience, satisfaction with care planning and case management, timeliness or access to a crisis plan.</p><p>See <a href="#niceng216er4.appf">appendix F</a> for full GRADE tables with quality ratings of all outcomes.</p></div><div id="niceng216er4.s1.1.12.2.2"><h5>Qualitative evidence</h5><p>The quality of the evidence for qualitative findings was assessed using GRADE-CERQual methodology and the overall confidence ranged from very low to high. The review findings were generally downgraded because of methodological limitations of the included studies, including, for example not enough information on data analysis, recruitment strategy or consideration of potential author bias. Some findings were also downgraded for relevance because in some cases the study context was slightly different to the review protocol and included the views on non-social worker roles. Finally, some findings were downgraded for adequacy because together, the relevant studies did not offer rich data.</p><p>See <a href="#niceng216er4.appf">appendix F</a> for full GRADE-CERQual tables with quality ratings of all review findings.</p></div><div id="niceng216er4.s1.1.12.2.3"><h5>Benefits and harms</h5><div id="niceng216er4.s1.1.12.2.3.1"><h5>Responding to an escalation of need, including urgent support</h5><p>The committee discussed that the quantitative and qualitative evidence were both exclusively focused on mental health crises, and largely on Mental Health Act assessments. They discussed that a crisis or an unplanned escalation of need can occur for all adults with complex needs, and recognised this represents a gap in the evidence. Where possible, the committee tried to make recommendations that would be relevant to all crisis situations. The committee also highlighted that there was a lack of representation of the views of adults with complex needs in the qualitative evidence.</p><p>The committee discussed the quantitative evidence that showed an important harm in terms quality of life, in people who receive the social therapy with case management intervention, compared to treatment as usual. They discussed that although quality of life in the intervention group increased from baseline, it did not increase as much as the treatment as usual group. The committee discussed that this could be due to a number of reasons and that the evidence did not sufficiently provide enough information for an explanation. Due to concerns over the involvement of the social worker in the intervention also, the committee did not feel confident to use this data to inform recommendations. The committee also discussed the quantitative evidence that showed an important benefit of social work approaches in terms of more outpatient visits and more registrations with a GP, for people experiencing homelessness. They also discussed the evidence that showed an important benefit of a social work approach in crisis outreach teams, in terms of fewer involuntary admissions via apprenhension under the Mental Health Act, and fewer voluntary admissions to hospital. However, the committee had concerns over the quality of the evidence, and the degree of social worker involvement in some of the interventions. They agreed that they could not confidently make a recommendation for the specific approaches described by the studies. The committee felt the synthesis of the qualitative and quantitative evidence created an interesting connection between the data, however due to the concerns over quality for the quantitative evidence they did not feel they could comment on whether this was an accurate reflection of what happens in practice. They also discussed that some of the results from the quantitative evidence may be specific to the needs of people experiencing homelessness and unlikely to reflect the wider population of adults with complex needs.</p><p>The review finding (D2.1.2 Professionals&#x02019; own values; high quality) that suggested professionals use their own values to help them make decisions during a Mental Health Act assessment, led the committee to discuss the social work professional capabilities framework. The framework sets out the ethical principles and critical reflection practices that a social worker must apply to guide their decision-making. The committee used their expertise, and drew on this framework to recommend that social workers should take into account the person&#x02019;s social circumstances and cultural background when planning the best approach during a crisis situation. The committee discussed that depending on their social circumstances or cultural background, a person&#x02019;s needs may differ and the appropriateness and suitability of approaches will differ. They also discussed the importance of respecting these differences, and ensuring that any approach taken to care following a Mental Health Act assessment, should have the person in mind and should be able to meet their specific needs. The committee agreed that the recommendation would achieve this and would ensure delivery of personalised and appropriate care, and as a result improve engagement in adults with complex needs. The recommendation is also supported by the Mental Health Act code of practice (14.8).</p><p>The committee discussed the qualitative evidence (D2.2 What helps minimise detention; high quality) that suggested that having the involved professionals present during a Mental Health Act assessment would help avoid detention. They were also aware of statutory requirements in the Mental Health Act code of practice (14.45) which states that, where possible, the Approved Mental Health Professional and at least one doctor involved in the Mental Health Act assessment should assess jointly. They discussed that the evidence was specific to Mental Health Act assessments, and that from their experience, having all the involved professionals, present at the same time in other crises was unlikely to be helpful. However, they agreed that there is value, for most crises, in having a joint assessment with colleagues who have the most knowledge of the person&#x02019;s care needs (for example, requesting a community Care and Treatment Review or a case conference). They also agreed that consulting with colleagues and the family (with consent of the person) who have the most knowledge of a person&#x02019;s care would enable social workers to have the best information available to inform decision-making. The committee were aware of statutory requirements in the Mental Health Act (14.69) that supported this. Based on statutory requirements and the evidence available, they agreed that this approach would help to advocate for interventions that have the least detrimental impact on a person&#x02019;s rights. The committee highlighted the potential resource impact and logistical issues around trying to get all the relevant practioners together in one location and at short notice. To address these issues, they specified in the recommendation that practitioners should make joint assessments, as long as it is practical. The committee discussed the importance of upholding the person&#x02019;s preferences, especially when various practitioners are involved in the response to an unplanned escalation of need, as supported by the recommendation described above. They agreed that it was essential to make a recommendation, which was supported by the Mental Health Act, to take into account the person&#x02019;s wishes and preferences. The committee agreed that this would address any concerns with regard to decisions made with only the views and opinions of practitioners. The committee also discussed the importance of upholding the person&#x02019;s preferences and ensuring a person-centred response to an escalation of need and agreed, from experience, that this would be a way of improving a person&#x02019;s engagement in their care, and consequently future outcomes.</p><p>The committee discussed the evidence (D1.1 Alternative treatments to compulsory detention; high quality) that suggested there was a lack of time and resources for social workers to consider alternative treatments to detention under the Mental Health Act. They discussed that a recommendation for more resources was not in the remit of this guideline so they agreed not to make a recommendation to address this issue. However, the committee were aware of statutory requirements in the Mental Capacity Act (S1, (6), the Mental Health Act (14.13 and 14.52) and the Care Act (Chapter 1, 1.14 (h)), that were relevant and state that the least restrictive options to a person&#x02019;s rights and freedom must be explored. Therefore, the committee made a strong recommendation to ensure social workers explore the alternative options. Although the evidence (D1.1 Alternative treatments to compulsory detention; high quality), which led to the committee discussion, was focused on crises in mental health, the legislation that supports the recommendation is generalisable to all types of crises. The committee also discussed the importance of the recommendation focusing on options that have the least detrimental impact on a person&#x02019;s rights, rather than the least restrictive option. They discussed non-mental health crises and used an example where an older person is moved to a care home. They recognised that in this situation moving to a care home is the most restrictive option. However, this could be the best option to enable more freedom with the appropriate care and support that would otherwise not have been possible at home, on their own.</p><p>The discussion regarding alternative options, led the committee to discuss situations when people have made an advance statement. The committee were aware of statutory requirements in the Mental Capacity Act (S4) and the Mental Health Act codes of practice, which state that a person&#x02019;s advance statement, must be taken into account. Therefore, the committee agreed to recommend that in the event of a crisis, social workers establish whether an advanced statement or a joint crisis plan is in place. They discussed that there can be times when practitioners do not check whether an advanced statement is in place and this may be in part due to time pressures. To address this, the committee agreed that it was essential for the decision making process to be documented, including whether and how an advanced statement has been used and taken into account. The committee discussed the importance of considering the views of people important to adults with complex needs, when planning during a crisis or unplanned escalation of need. The committee discussed the evidence (D2.1.1 Considering the wider support network; moderate quality) that suggested practitioners use the wider support network of friends family, carers and people important to adults with complex needs, to help them make decisions during a Mental Health Act assessment. Although the evidence was specific to a Mental Health Act assessment, based on their experience the committee agreed that a wider support network could help in decision making in other crises. The committee were also aware of statutory requirements, namely in the Mental Health Act code of practice (4.39, 14.69), which supported their recommendation. The guidance supports consulting with carers and people who know the person to provide extra knowledge.</p><p>The committee discussed the evidence (D3.2.2 Risk aversion; high quality) that suggested there was a cultural tendency for risk aversion, which might lead to practitioners choosing the most restrictive treatment option to avoid blame if something were to go wrong. They agreed it was important to recognise the responsibility of the organisation to support social workers working in crises. The committee agreed on a recommendation for organisations to provide social workers with appropriate support after working with someone in crisis. They highlighted the Social Work England professional standards for social workers (4) which state social workers should discuss, reflect on and share best practice. The committee agreed that by reflecting on practice, social workers would be able to identify potential risks to themselves and others and support decision making in future crisis work, and agreed to include this in the recommendation. The committee agreed that this recommendation would address the issues raised in the evidence (D3.2.2 Risk aversion; high quality) regarding risk aversion leading to choosing the most restrictive option. They agreed that if social workers had prompt and appropriate support when working in crises, they would be able to address their concerns as soon as possible, and be able to make decisions that are in the best interests of the person.</p><p>The committee also discussed the qualitative evidence (D4.2 The importance of professional support; low quality) that suggested practitioners value professional support and supervision, and without this support their own anxiety could be exacerbated after supporting someone through a crisis. The committee agreed that the recommendation to ensure social workers are given prompt support and the opportunity for reflection when they have worked with someone in a crisis would address this. They nevertheless recognised that this may exacerbate current resource pressures by requiring additional social worker and manager time. However, they agreed that the benefits of this recommendation to the wellbeing of social workers outweighed the potential impact on services.</p><p>The committee discussed statutory guidance in the Mental Health Act (14.35) code of practice which states that local authorities have a statutory duty to have arrangements in place to provide a 24-hour service, to respond to a person&#x02019;s needs if they are being assessed under the Mental Health Act. The committee also discussed the review finding (D5.3 Negative aspects of out of hours services; low quality) which suggested that relatives of adults with complex needs were dissatisfied with the availability of out of hour&#x02019;s services and the time taken for an assessment to take place. They recognised that the evidence and statutory guidance were specific for mental health crises, but agreed that it was important to highlight this with a recommendation. The committee also recognised that any crisis situation, not only mental health crises can deteriorate rapidly without timely support, and that it was essential services were quick to respond to a person&#x02019;s needs and were available at all times. On the basis of the evidence they therefore expanded the recommended that local authorities have arrangements in place to provide prompt support ito a person&#x02019;s escalating needs. The committee recommended quick and clear communication between services as they realised, from their experience, that this continuity was essential.</p><p>In light of the almost exclusive focus in this evidence review, on mental health crises and crises interventions provided by professionals other than social workers, the committee agreed to make a research recommendation to address the gap in evidence on social work intervention in crises for others with complex needs. In particular, they recommended research to establish the most effective approach to responding to an escalation of need in this broader population as well as the acceptability of those approaches to people being supported and those providing support.</p></div></div></div><div id="niceng216er4.s1.1.12.3"><h5>Cost effectiveness and resource use</h5><p>No economic evidence was identified for this topic.</p><p>The recommendation for a joint assessment may lead an increase in resource use as this is not currently usual practice in England. Such a recommendation would require relevant practitioners to be together in the same location or meet via telephone or video conferencing often at short notice. This may require additional staff time to cover the casework of practitioners or require them to work outside of their usual working hours. Travel at short notice is also likely to be needed in circumstances where remote meetings are not appropriate. Whilst this recommendation will lead to an increase in resource use, such assessments should only take place where it is both practical and it would be of benefit to the person. These meetings can be done remotely, where it will not affect the quality of an assessment or the person&#x02019;s ability to participate, reducing both the time needed and costs. Such meetings are likely to allow for the people with the most relevant information on a person&#x02018;s care needs to be present during decision making and will lead to interventions which minimise any unnecessary detriment to a person&#x02019;s rights and quality of life.</p><p>The recommendation to allow for 24-hour access to services in relation to detention under the Mental Helath Act, which can respond promptly to any escalating needs, is already current practice because it is a legal duty. There is statutory duty to provide a 24-hour to provide services so decisions on applications for detention under the Mental Health Act can be made (in line with <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/code-of-practice-mental-health-act-1983" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">section 14.35 of the Mental Health Act Code of Practice</a>).</p><p>All other recommendations reinforce current legislation and usual practice. These recommendations will not lead to any change in resource use or cost.</p></div><div id="niceng216er4.s1.1.12.4"><h5>Other factors the committee took into account</h5><p>In making recommendations on the basis of this review, the committee used the evidence as well as their own experiential knowledge to draw on three Acts of parliament; the Mental Health Act 1983, the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the Care Act 2014 as well as their associated codes of practice. The committee also drew on the Social Work England professional standards for social workers.</p></div></div><div id="niceng216er4.s1.1.13"><h4>Recommendations supported by this evidence review</h4><p>This evidence review supports recommendations 1.6.1 to 1.6.7 and research recommendation 4 on social work responses to an escalation of need.</p></div></div></div><div id="niceng216er4.rl.r1"><h2 id="_niceng216er4_rl_r1_">References &#x02013; included studies</h2><ul class="simple-list"><div id="niceng216er4.rl.r2"><h3>Effectiveness</h3><ul class="simple-list"><li class="half_rhythm"><p><div class="bk_ref" id="niceng216er4.ref1"><p id="p-321">

Research recommendation</h5><p>What is the effectiveness and acceptability of social work interventions to support people with complex needs during an escalation of need?</p></div><div id="niceng216er4.appk.s1.2"><h5>K.1.2. Why this is important</h5><p>The review showed that evidence in this area is mainly focussed on how to respond to an escalation of need amongst people with a mental illness and tends to focus on nursing and other health care professional interventions rather than input from social workers. However, there are a number of reasons why the wider population of adults with complex needs may also enter a crisis situation. These could be from a lack of access to health and social care professionals, or from unpredicted changes in life circumstances, which are not uncommon in this population. Therefore, it is important to recognise that escalation of needs, or crisis situations are likely to take place in this population group, and effective and appropriate support should be in place to respond to them. Effective responses to an escalation of need or crisis situation, could help to ensure people in those situations experience continuity of care, are provided with a support network, and also with the skills to improve resilience, consequently reducing the duration and possibly the occurrence of future crises. Providing the appropriate support for people during an escalation of need, could also have an impact on services as unplanned care contacts, such as expensive admissions to emergency services, are reduced.</p><p>The main professional group who are most likely to be working with adults with complex needs, outside of those with mental illness and in regular contact with health services, are social workers. Meaning this group is well placed to work with vulnerable people and provide de-escalation interventions. It is therefore important to study which interventions provided by social workers, are the most effective and the most accepted in adults with complex needs.</p></div><div id="niceng216er4.appk.s1.3"><h5>K.1.3.
