(August 3rd 2022) Engagement opportunities

Inclusion health slides for One North Devon Communities stakeholder engagement (PowerPoint)

  • Devon Public Health are looking to work with families to shape ideas and thinking around design of a model of health and wellbeing support for children and families. We want to learn from the experiences of families in their local community and understand their views and values. The aim is to co-develop a more holistic approach promoting good health and wellbeing; one that helps to create the wider environments that can enable all children, young people, and their families to thrive, as well as providing access to appropriate resources, services, and support when families want and need them. 
  • The initial information gathered from various stakeholders will provide insights and contribution to wider thinking about healthy lifestyle services and family approaches. 
  •  Any insights gathered from North Devon area will also likely contribute to the health inequalities work led by research your way and any other local programmes of work that may be looking at place/community solutions. Its also possible that participants could speak about  natural resources and access to them to support physical movement that could be helpful to any thinking  around blue/green social prescription

Community Engagement / Insight surveys 

(June 2022) Creating a model of health and wellbeing support for children and families

The Public Health team are currently exploring some engagement and insight work with parents/carers of families with child/ren.

We are looking to work with families to shape ideas and thinking around design of a model of health and wellbeing support for children and families. The aim is to co-develop a more holistic approach promoting good health and wellbeing; as well as providing access to appropriate resources, services, and support when families want and need them.

They are also looking to learn from colleagues valuable experiences engaging children and families learning from what’s working well, ease of access for families to services and challenges faced supporting families.

If you are able to support them and help in connecting with local groups that work with families (parents and carers) then please do get in touch with Sarah Phillips, Advanced Public Health Practitioner, Public Health Devon, Devon County Council
