Sheffield City Council has set up a new Health & Social Care Community Involvement newsletter, showing how you can get involved in shaping local social care services.
Every three months the newsletter will let you know about ways to have your say about services, groups you can join and projects to take part in.
The first edition offers you the opportunity to help judge next year’s Dignity Awards, which celebrate exceptional social work staff who put compassion and respect at the heart of their practice.There is also the chance to join the Citizens Involvement Project, which starts early next year and to help review and improve their Sheffield Directory.
It also features Sheffield Voices self-advocacy group thanks to the Chance to Choose project , where people with a learning disability, autistic people and their carers and families are invited to take part in online drop-in conversations to talk about support.
The newsletter concludes with some recent examples of how local people have contributed to developing social care services.
You can sign up for the Health and Social Care newsletter here. Or if you want it in another community language or a different format such as a paper leaflet, please email involvement@sheffield.gov.uk
