Public expectations rising
• 24/7 delivery and support, instant response• New technology – way in which we live lives and do
business• One point of contact• Knowledge management• More for less, better value for money• Dependence on the state to pick up the pieces,
because we have always done it!

Your experience as a resident
• Where have you experienced positive/negative interactions with public services?
• What are the factors that make these experiences positive/negative?

Asset-mapping with older people
![Page 11: Involving Communities workshop Empowering front-line services.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca75503460f9496a158/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
New approaches
• Asset mapping – individual and community assets
• Focus on social capital and resources not deficits and limitations e.g. Mrs Smith in Torbay, or Taylor family in Surrey
• Invest in understanding communities and how best to engage them
![Page 12: Involving Communities workshop Empowering front-line services.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca75503460f9496a158/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Some examples
• KeyRing Living Support Networks - vulnerable adults who need some support to live safely in the community and are also prepared to offer help to others
• Solihull’s Environment Champions - tackle the community’s problem with littering, vandalism and other environmental crimes
• Upper Horfield’s Pride of Place Initiative: 36 street representatives; projects where public service providers and the community work together to improve quality of life and increase social cohesion

Why do relationships matter?
• They enable co-production & behaviour change e.g.– Patients who have good experience with healthcare
provider more likely to engage in positive behaviour change
• They lead to better service outcomes e.g.– Relationship with adviser key factor in moving
someone into work– Pupil’s relationship with teacher correlated with
academic success

Relational services: Shared Lives
• Adult requiring support or accommodation moves in with a registered carer
• Opportunity to become part of each other’s lives
• Creates opportunity for reciprocity and therefore a genuine relationship
![Page 16: Involving Communities workshop Empowering front-line services.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca75503460f9496a158/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Relational services: Circle
• Membership organisations for people over 50• Enables them to ‘do the stuff they want to do
in way that they want to do it’• Members request support, host events,
connect with others• Support provided by volunteer and paid
Helpers• ‘the secret sauce is relationships’

Unlocking individual capacity
• Change the conversation– Active contributers not passive recipients– Invest time and energy
• Asset based approaches
• Motivating individuals– incentivise positive behaviour– Reciprocation e.g. timebanks– Relationships/social networks
![Page 18: Involving Communities workshop Empowering front-line services.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca75503460f9496a158/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Unlocking community capacity
• Facilitate individuals to come together• Focus on and invest in volunteering• Public sector agencies as convenor• Support volunteers to run things for
themselves• Give people the tools – materials, advice,
training and confidence
![Page 19: Involving Communities workshop Empowering front-line services.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca75503460f9496a158/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Unlocking public service capacity
• Money – budget consultations, funding community led projects
• Buildings – community use• Officers – different roles, as enablers and
facilitators, new behaviours, involving local people, freed up to make decisions
• Place based rather than service based – resources and support at very local level
• Elected members – accountability, broker negotiations, new skills?

What first steps can we take to make these approaches our default ways of working?
• What do we need to do?
• What might get in the way? How will we overcome these barriers?
• What/who will help us?
