Getting serious about lived experience

 Pete Fahy Chair, WM-ADASS Branch, DASS, Coventry City Council

"Our vision is to promote independent lives and fair, thriving communities in the West Midlands by strengthening local health and social care and responding positively to change."

We have five objectives to help us achieve this and which underpin our improvement work. They are:

1. Build a well-led, stable and resilient adult social care workforce;
2. Create a shared, trusted, evidence base that drives assurance, learning and innovation;
3. Strengthen practice quality, confidence and readiness for CQC;
4. Put lived experience at the centre of local accountability, learning and improvement.
5. Shape policy and reform by speaking with a clear, confident regional voice.

Through our ‘Improvement for All: Stronger Together’ approach, we support ourselves and each other, with people with lived experience and all our partners, to make health and social care in the West Midlands the best we can.
