Contact: Stewart Smith

Stewart Smith introduced and amplified his report (copy attached to the signed Minutes) which updated the Board on the 2019 Shropshire Partnership Summit which focused on co-production, what it meant for Adult Social Care and Children’s Services and how they could work together differently.  He informed the Board that the event showed a good appetite for working together and had highlighted some good examples of co-production that had already taken place and ideas for the future.  Positive feedback had been received from attendees.

The Head of Adult Services felt that more decision makers from Health should be invited to the next Summit.  In response to a comment that Shropshire Council did not have a policy for co-production, it was agreed for the Head of Adult Services along with the Portfolio Holder to look at developing a co-production policy.
