CONTACT SEMINAR

Measuring outcomes for parent engagement and coproduction - March 23rd 2022

Contact has been working with Genuine Partnerships who have developed the nationally recognised model of co-production based on the Four Cornerstones Approach (Welcome and Care;  Value and Include, Communicate and Work in Partnership) . This is based on the acclaimed Rotherham Charter which was co-created by the children and young people families and practitioners in Rotherham. The workshop will also showcase a new tool being developed with Genuine Partnerships, Contact and local areas to measure outcomes for parent engagement and coproduction.

In this online workshop we will hear from Genuine Partnerships about how;

·  This relational model can be used to strengthen inclusive practice and promote emotional health and wellbeing  within the ethos and culture of early years settings to build trust.

·  Quality indicators can be used to identify and develop good practice in settings and in partnership working

·  Success Measures can be agreed with service users and partners to identify priority areas and really measure success.

The workshop is suitable for; anyone interested in embedding coproduction  including those in leadership roles working in early years setting, strategic managers, young people’s forums and parent carer forums.
