Issue - meetings

A review of day opportunities, including buildings-based day services is currently underway, in collaboration with key stakeholders, which will inform a new BCP Council Day Opportunities Strategy. This report provides the committee with an introduction to this piece of work and update on current progress.

The Commissioning Manager – Day Opportunities presented a report accompanied by a presentation, a copy of which had been circulated to each Member and a copy of which appears as Appendix 'C' to these Minutes in the Minute Book.

The report summarised the work underway to review day opportunities including buildings-based day services in collaboration with key stakeholders, which would inform a new BCP Council Day Opportunities Strategy. The Commissioning Manager presented an overview of the project including the key principles, the governance structure and the proposed timeline leading up to the production of a Case for Change report in December 2022.

The Commissioning Manager was asked about the Day Opportunities co-production group and it was noted that this had an important role in bringing together service users and groups, providers and councillors to influence service development. Membership of the group which met bi-monthly was set out in Appendix 2, with an open invitation extended to Committee members wishing to participate. Cllr D Butler confirmed that she would be interested in attending.

RESOLVED that the Committee requests an update once the view seeking exercise has been completed and a case for change report has been drafted.
