What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionIn 2022 the council worked with the Local Government Association (LGA) on a Building the Right Supports peer review of our systems approach to services to people with a learning disability. There were significant comments about people with lived experience not being present in the development and peer reviewing of our offer. A programme of work was agreed across adults with oversight through Scrutiny to address these key recommendations. Citizen Checkers is contracted to the ICB to support experts by experience to have meaningful roles across our systems operations e.g., visiting in patients as part of the discharge planning process to return to Cornwall and live their lives. Through this work we want to work with this current partner to develop this across health and care services and as operational leads we have released staffing resources to make this initiative possible.
Citizen Checker a service to support people with lived experiences to become economically active within a supported employment service.
