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

To ensure the model is being embedded across the service, an audit tool will be used bi-annually to capture both individual and strategic joint partnership.

Outcomes, evaluations and next steps will be shared with the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Partnership Board.

Specific processes will take place across the service such as the Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) audit framework whereby young people will share their views on the process and paperwork itself in line with the quality assurance cycle. 

• support to services who are embedding the model in their practice. Advice and support to produce action plans which aim to achieve the highest quality joint partnership working within your teams abilities, workload and remit. This support is provided by the Participation Officer, email: [email protected]
• our Parent Carer Forum will support services with gaining parent carer voice. Email: [email protected]
• advice on completing the audit tool is available to all services
• once the audits have been completed, they will be evaluated and advice for the next 12 months will be provided
• regular check ins with the Participation Officer will be offered to ensure actions from the audit have been achieved and where appropriate, further support can be implemented
