Brighton & Hove Health and Social Value programme
Stakeholder Update
The Health & Social Value Programmewas a three year programme funded by the Department of Health and delivered in partnership by Social Enterprise UK (SEUK) and the Institute for Voluntary Action Research (IVAR). It aimedto support the implementation of the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 in Health through a crosssector,action learning approach.
Brighton & Hovewas part of the third cohort in 2015/16 which also includedLambeth, Oldham and Shropshire and the path leading to today has been a positive one. Starting in September 2015, a group of people from the voluntary and community sector, Council and CCG came together with a view to making social value more visible and recognisable through their joint practice.
The programme has provided an opportunity to learn and reflect together (both locally and nationally), exploring opportunities to better understand and also connect with each other’s organisations. This has been so effective that it has gone beyond the initial health focus to a city-wide commitment.
The official project itself has now closed, but the work continues!
Draft Brighton & Hove Social Value Framework
This draft framework has been coproduced through the programme, with contributions from a range of Voluntary sector, Council and CCG participants (acknowledged below) and consists of:
- The Framework (statement, why, who for)
- Implementation Guidance (how it will work)
The vision:
In Brighton & Hove, we will look for relevant social, environmental and economic value from everything that we do, including service delivery, commissioning and procurements and by integrating Social Value into all decisions affecting the city. Our aim is to obtain the greatest benefit for local citizens.
Next steps for the development are as follows:
Consultation phase – May to July 2016
This period will focus on a limited consultation exercise. The Framework has been co-produced over the past 6 months (and will continue to be in review). What is most important now it get it ‘in the system’ and working for everyone.
