1. Adult Health and Social Care Forum Wednesday 29 January Cambridge House

2. Understanding Coproduction • Andy Boaden, CAS

3. What is co-production? “Co-production means delivering public services in an equal and reciprocal relationship between professionals, people using services, their families and their neighbours. Where activities are co-produced in this way, both services and neighbourhoods become far more effective agents of change.” NESTA, Coproduction Catalogue

4. What’s being done about it? • Adult Social Care review of the way the Council, service providers and service users work together to design and deliver services • CAS to give VCS perspective of current working relationships & recommend how these could develop

5. What did we do? • 150 organisations surveyed • 33 survey responses • 10 organisations interviewed • Report submitted to Southwark Adult Social Care

6. Findings • 93% of orgs work with Adult Social Care, most commonly to identify need. • ~50% of orgs agreed that ASC engage at the right time & on the important things • Only 33% agreed enough time given to contribute and whether the contributions were used effectively • More flexible engagement & resources to work with minority communities • Appetite for VCS to do more!

7. Findings (cont) • ASC communications fair to good on relevance, timing & clarity • CAS bulletins & forums & ASC stakeholder events most common way to keep up with developments • VCS need voice at strategic level but efficacy of the strategic partnership boards questions

8. What would ideal relationship with ASC look like? • Engaged at the earliest possible stage • Joint long term vision for design and delivery of social care services. • Open, transparent and accountable. • VCS representation should be reflective of the diversity of local communities • Investment in developing providers, networks, innovation & collaboration • Greater integration

9. Setting the foundations for coproduction • The Health and Wellbeing Board should endorse coproduction • CAS & Adult Social Care to explore how to make communications fuller, more structured and cohesive • Engagement work to be conducted around themes rather than client groups

10. Extending reach and improving integration • Supporting and developing established networks and community groups • More joint ASC/Clinical Commissioning Group engagement work and commissioning.

11. Developing co-productive practices in the VCS • Training for organisations to co-produce with their service users • The Innovation Fund

12. Next steps • Adult Social Care Senior Management to review report & recommendations • Inform ASC coproduction strategy • CAS to monitor progress and report back via health and social care network • Questions?
