York's Model of Joint Partnership working (co-production)

Feedback from the audits completed by City of York Council and Special Educational Needs Services and Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership between 2021 and 2024 show that:

• strategically, services understand the importance of including families in joint partnership working
• services value stakeholders as key partners. However, they report that there is a need for a broader range of lived experiences in the families who engage in engagement events
• services would like to engage younger children including those in the early years in their strategic engagement but have requested advice on actioning this

Services would like to engage younger children including those in the early years in their strategic engagement but have requested advice on actioning this.

The strongest priority from this feedback was:

• priority 1 - we value the importance of children, young people and their parents/carers as key stakeholders in all decisions and planning that affects their lives

The priorities in need of improvement are:

• priority 4 - we continue to grow our networks of people
• priority 5 - we are equal, diverse and accessible
