We asked, you said, we did
Read our responses to your feedback:
We asked
From 10 June 2024 to 7 July 2024, we launched an activity to engage with residents of West Northamptonshire that receive, or have a family member that receives, help through health or social care funded supported living. This was to form part of our new framework for supported living and help the Council make decisions to improve certain aspects to meet the needs of those needing this sort of help.
You said
The activity received 34 complete responses and 25 partially complete responses. The following is a summary of the key results:
You told us that the current ‘I statements’ that have been co- produced over the years are still very important to you. Themes that you believed to be important for consideration in future commissioning of supported living services were:
- Good communication and active listening skills
- Being treated with respect and dignity
- Friendly, approachable, shows empathy
- Caring, compassionate and kind
- Maintains a safe environment
- Skilled and competent
We did
All responses have been considered, we have reviewed and updated the co-produced ‘I statements’ and used these alongside key themes to set out our expectations for future supported living services. These will help us monitor services against these expectations and improve outcomes for the people living in them. The new arrangements will be implemented in Spring 2025.
