Consultation has concluded

How would you want to be looked after if you needed care or support?

By telling us what you think, you will help us improve the way you, your family or friends may be cared for if you need support.

The integrated commissioning team at the Council is having these discussions with those who have and have not used care services, so that they can decide what kind of services we will have in future. Social care is the care and support of vulnerable people, usually in the community – this could be help in terms of maintaining independence, social interaction, support in or removal from vulnerable situations and help in managing complex issues in day to day life. This could take place in someones own home, where they live, or a professional setting, or somewhere else out in the community.

We want to think about this in different ways: for Older People, People of Working Age and Children and Young People.

We’ll gather all the ideas from this space, as well as from our conversations with other groups and forums to create a summary to share with everyone. We'll then come back to speak to people, including the Youth Council, to share what will happen next, who will be involved and how you may have shaped the future!

Please take the surveys and respond in the forum to share more ideas!

The project space is open until the 1st November 2020

Or alternatively, email us your thoughts or questions at IntegratedCommissioning@southend.gov.uk

  • How can we all improve caring for other people?

    We want to know your thoughts about how we should care for young people, children, adults of a working age and older people.

  • How should we work together?

    We want to know what you think is important when working together, so that everyone can take part in this co-production in a way that is fair to everyone involved. 

    But what is co-production? Co-production is where more than one group of people come together to plan and deliver something together - it is commonly carried out between professionals and non-professionals, who typically share equal power in decision-making, as co-creators. Often this is started by those who have the means to (or are required to) create a service, like Local Authorities, involving those who may have some interest in using a service, such as Citizens/Residents. In many cases they would both contribute in order to try and improve things for their communities or local area.

    Essentially this is working together - which is why we want to know what you think is important, as you could take part! What you say can effect how we approach co-production in future.

    We’ll gather all the ideas from this space, as well as from our conversations with other groups and forums to create a summary to share with everyone. We'll then come back to speak to people, to share what will happen next, who will be involved and how you may have shaped the future!
