CYP Health Equity Collaborative Frequently Asked Questions - Systems/Bigger Picture

What is the plan at the end of the three year programme? Our programme has been designed to equip ICSs with the tools to promote Children and Young People’s Health Equity in an ongoing and sustainable way, and not to be reliant on partners for its delivery. [...] Is there an initial level of funding available for the ICS and if so how much is it likely to be? Barnardo’s have made a significant investment in this programme through the involvement of our teams, and the experts within the Institute of Health Equity. [...] In the first quarter of our programme, we want to prioritise getting local data governance agreements and processes in place across the wider health and care partnership to allow us to work collectively and collaboratively on this throughout the programme. [...] What support are Barnardo’s and IHE putting in to support on evaluation of outcomes or is this a cost to be borne by local systems? Evaluation of the framework itself, how it is used in practice to guide local health systems and the outcomes achieved from pilot interventions are fully funded and within the Institute of Health Equity’s remit. [...] We need to consider the appropriate ways of ensuring participation in the development of the framework compared to the intervention, as the latter may lend itself more to the considered approach to eliciting baby and infant voice.
