We are delighted to be part of this year’s Towards Relational Public Services conference. Taking place in Manchester 3-5 June, the conference explores how we can create relational public services. This means services which focus on building relationships with people, rather than seeing support as transactional. It looks at how we can create better services by putting people’s lived experience at the heart of support. .
Future Pathways will be leading a workshop at the conference. Here, we will share more about our relational approach to working with other services and what this looks like in practice. We will also encourage participants to reflect on how this approach can be adapted for other services.
We’ll describe our relational approach to evaluation, specifically about how we measure the impact of our work with other services. And we’ll talk about how taking an outcome mapping approach can enable and support this.
Importantly, we’ll be sharing what we have learned about the impact of our relational approach for people with lived experience of in care abuse and neglect.
We look forward to sharing our learning with other services who are interested in developing a relational approach, showing the impact of their work with partners, and learning about how partnership working can support people to progress their personal outcomes.
