Over-arching recommendations• EDUCATE the workforce of all service providers to create and maintain a safe, inclusive and respectful

environment for all lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people.

• MONITOR the sexual orientation of your service users, patients and staff as part of your standard demographic dataset, and use the findings to inform future plans and improve services.

• COMMUNICATE in a non-discriminatory way, without making assumptions about a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

• INCLUDE lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people's needs within mainstream services, policies, strategies and commissioning plans.

• TARGET when necessary, lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people with specific health information and campaigns.

• DEVELOP where appropriate specialist health and support services for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people, their partners and their families.

Opportunities and Ambition• Improve/enhance the current

strategic relationship between the VCSE and CCG

• harness the potential of small, ‘non clinical’, community-based organisations that have not traditionally been seen as potential providers in the past

• Inform and educate primary and community care in particular in core VCSE principles – e.g. community capacity building and social value

• Improve and expand on the existing opportunities for CCG/VCSE collaboration

• With HealthWatch Wakefield ensure the citizen voice is heard

• Facilitate an increase in volunteering and peer supporter opportunities to ‘give something back’

• Design co learning opportunities capable of exploring and encouraging direct involvement by primary care

• Bring together diverse VCSE providers ‘round the table’ to develop a sector-wide vision of health delivery

Three key objectives • Objective 1 - Embedding the process of Social Value with the CCG

to generate a social value consensus statement for the Wakefield District

• Objective 2 - Social prescribing project – mapping the VCSE delivery model against the CCG commissioning strategy using the Social Prescription model as an exemplar

• Objective 3 – Develop a clear Stakeholder Communication & Engagement Strategy

What we did BHP project brought together expertise to consider how we can improve our commissioning of social value. In particular we: • Developed our understanding of best practice• Considered how we could improve our joined-up partnership

approach• Co-produced a vision that builds community assets and more

sustainable healthier productive communities services• Started to change commissioning practice (SP)

Learning points • Improving understanding of how CCG and VCSE can work better

together• Co-producing social value statement• Developing practical models (i.e. social prescribing), that exemplify

the concept of social value• Clearer message to Clinical Commissioning Group and Local

Authority about VCS capacity to deliver
