Laing Buisson Awards 2021

We are excited to announce that ISL have been selected as a finalist at the UK Laing Buisson Awards.  Our entry was for the “Outstanding Response to COVID in Social Care” category. This entry detailed many initiatives that we have put into place during the past year, including One ISL, support and crisis innovations, COVID loans, collaborations with external partners and many more. This has included rapid mobilisation of  an accommodation based mental health crisis service in partnership with the NHS to relive pressure on hospital beds. This has also created a new local  pathway to support individuals to receive targeted support close to home, then return home without the need for hospital admission.  Judges  announce the winner at a gala event in London in November. Reaching the finals of such a prestigious sector awards is a huge privilege, and a great testament to the incredible work and achievements of all of our teams this year.  Looking forward to the event and good luck to everyone else who has made it to the finals.
