VIN has started work with Adult Social Care (West Northamptonshire) on their Co-Production Register.

The Register consists of Experts by Experience (or EBEs) who contribute to Adult Social Care Policy and future Commissions.

Russell Rolph (the CEO of VIN) states:

I am delighted to be working with Adult Social Care (ASC) on this Register and in supporting the Co-production Board. Working with those who have Lived Experience is vital in ensuring that the right services are compiled and delivered, and this is a great opportunity for VIN to step further into this arena. As we know more, I am calling on all VCSE organisations across West Northamptonshire to suggest potential candidates for these EBE roles, all of which are remunerated for the time they give. Please contact me for information in the first instance. The programme will start in earnest in January of 2025, and my thanks to all those in Adult Social Care who gave us this opportunity. Further information on the pipeline of ASC Commissions will be circulated in due course.
