STRETCH2ENGAGEWorkshop #1: The Basics: Making engagement everyone’s business
Services that engage well…. • Recognise that service engagement can in part redress power imbalances between people that provide services and- people who use, have used or may use the services being provided. • Ensure that they engage with many, diverse voices, foster robust discussion and do not retreat from disagreement as this can lead to innovation, • … • Have a go, even if their service engagement strategies are not perfect, using everyday methods, ideas and resources already available to them. • Recognise service engagement activities as being distinct from service provision activities. • Take responsibility for initiating and leading service engagement activities. • Engage prior to developing or redeveloping services to facilitate co-design. • Use the wisdom and expertise of unique local community groups to ensure that the engagement processes employed are culturally safe, relevant and appropriate. • Seek feedback on service engagement processes, recognising that the effectiveness of service engagement is measured through the experience of those being engaged. • Commit to recognizing and utilizing the expertise of those who use the services and other community members who the organisation seeks to serve. • Create an organisational culture that values and is committed to service engagement practice. • Ensure that engagement activities are relevant, stimulating and energising for people involved. • …although good service engagement does not necessarily equate to the number of participants involved. • Engage prior to developing or redeveloping services to facilitate co-design.

Time to present the Stretch2Engage Framework • You are about to introduce and present to your organization the Stretch2Engage framework. • You have a hand out in the envelope to remind you of the framework and its principles. • Unbeknown to you someone has chopped it up into pieces. • You do not have a complete copy of the framework that you can refer to to guide you in putting it back together. • You call on others to assist and to help decide which domain aligns to which group of principles. • You only have 15 minutes to put it back together before you have to present it to the group of eagerly awaiting staff.
