National Care Service - making sure your voice is heard: seldom heard voices co-design findings
We have been working with organisations who support people from groups and communities who often have barriers to engaging with government. This report is about findings from this work relating to the Making sure your voice is heard co-design theme.
Co-design sessions
We ran co-design sessions with people from different backgrounds and communities. The people who took part accessed a range of services, including justice social work services and children’s services.
At the sessions we discussed a range of topics and not just those relating to the Making sure your voice is heard design theme.
Our sessions were held in:
- Inverness
- Aberdeen
- Glasgow
- Kilmarnock
- Kirkcaldy
- Cumbernauld
- Grangemouth
- Edinburgh
- Larkhall
- Irvine
- Perth
- Blantyre
We also held some sessions online for people who could not travel.
To run these sessions, we worked with:
- Alzheimer’s Scotland
- SACRO
- Simon Community
- LGBT Health and Wellbeing
- MECOPP (Minority Ethnic Carers Of People Project)
- CEMVO (Council of Ethnic Minority Voluntary Organisations)
- Scottish Commission for People with Learning Disabilities
- Action for Children
- Glasgow Disability Alliance BAME network
- Inclusion Scotland's People led policy panel
Through this work, we have been able to reach communities and groups who we’ve not fully engaged with until now. This includes, among others:
- Gypsy and Traveller communities
- LGBTQI+ communities
- ethnic minority communities
- people with experience of homelessness
