Service user participation in social care has increased markedly in the wider service user movement over the last 20 years. However, the participation of black and minority ethnic service users has diminished over the same period. This report identifies some of the reasons for this reduction and concludes by stating that given the right opportunities, support and resources, there is a genuine commitment and interest from service users to become more actively involved in the process.

Mind's co-produced project
Mind is the largest mental health charity in England and Wales and we seek to involve people with mental health problems in shaping our work at every level from the services we provide to strategy development. We identified from demographic data that the diversity of reach in our involvement work needed to improve. A typical profile of someone involved was white, female, university-educated and aged 45 to 54. This co-produced project looked at how to diversify who Mind involves in our lived experience work, specifically looking at Black, Asian and minority ethnic (racialised) communities and at opportunities to maximise the influence of people with lived experience. We involved Mind staff and board members, and recruited an external project lead and six advisors, to add insights and to work together to find solutions. (Edited publisher abstract)

This webinar is the second in a series of Integrated Care webinars held jointly by NHS England, NHS Improvement and SCIE to support Integrated Care System (ICS) development, share good practice and to discuss practical solutions to issues that systems may be facing as part of their ICS journey and in their response to COVID-19. COVID-19, and the wider governmental and societal response, have brought health inequalities into sharp focus – it is essential that recovery is planned in a way that inclusively supports those in greatest need. This webinar sought to explore how systems can work in partnership to deliver an ambitious, widely owned local vision, and plan for action at both system and place level. Key questions addressed during this webinar include: how to build a coalition of the willing across local places to build a vision and plan for reducing inequalities; what actions systems need to take to tackle the systemic barriers facing black, Asian and minority ethnic groups; how to shift investment and resources towards prevention and early intervention; what is the role of population health management as part of the vision for reducing inequalities; and what is the role of asset-based working with communities as a way to tackle health inequalities.

In this consultation document SCIE comments on the Department of Health's plans for creating a stronger local voice in the development of health and social care services. SCIE strongly endorses the Department of Health’s proposed framework for achieving a stronger local voice in all levels of the health and social care system, including in commissioning and regulating services. This document makes a general response to Department of Health (DH) proposals with specific reference to the best ways of encouraging people to participate through, for example, becoming members of LINks. It also sets out advice for overcoming potential problems associated with achieving local involvement and highlighting some existing barriers against service user and carer participation. It also outlines some of the issues that the Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) team at the DH will have to consider in order to ensure that patients and the public who are seldom heard are also included in this vision.
