Emma – Conference about active change locally first. Building power in the community. What we're focusing on now is what matters to the children? School, homelife, a global issue (such as plastic pollution). David Price presented, and Aliyah York who set-up Pupil Power.

As a school
When doing a participatory project
I need to focus on what matters to children
and build partnerships with other schools, as well as relationships between parents of different schools (because they aren't always good).

Bettws ELC has a great partnership with various partners involved, how can we grow what we have developed for children up to 6 years of age for older children and young adults?

Children need to understand what citizenship means for them (something we're going to focus on in the next term).

As a member of staff
I need to have a strong understanding of citizenship (morals, values) in order to be an ethically informed citizen and have an impact on the community.

Good to see that we're working in similar ways, looking to empower our families

Common communication platform(s) and language

# data[].attributes.body
As a partner within the local area (ELC and beyond)
I need a simple communications platform (or interlinked ways to communicate) with a common language
so that the families understand that we are part of the same team in the community.

# data[].attributes.body
Families don't cut-off at the younger age, might have older children.

As a family (regardless of the age of my children),
I need to build confidence to be involved, in order to have a voice in the community and advocate for my needs.

# data[].attributes.body
As a partner of the ELC,
I need to have a directory of all the partners involved, so that I know who to contact and the best partner to refer families to.

# data[].attributes.body
Barriers could be lack of knowledge as to where the community can turn for help. With the help of a website, we will be able to direct families and the community to this. We can do this through the different stakeholders making families aware and, through advertising on posters or social media.

Barriers could also be because of lack of confidence. Lack of confidence in using technology or lack of confidence in turning to someone for help and support.

It's important that anything we do is not only co-produced, but sustainable and able to continue once all these various projects are no longer in Bettws.

Rebecca - need a shared understanding the importance of co-production

Sue - avoid duplication, ensure that resources are used in the best way. Share our work and what we do, and ensure that people don't go off on their own because they see a similar need.

As a family or parent/carer,
I need time to get involved and it needs to happen in a time and a way that works for me
So that I can take part.

As a family or parent/carer,
I need to feel secure in myself, my home and environment (including financially)
So that I feel confident to take part.

As a family or parent/carer who's struggled and wouldn't normally have a voice,
I need more support to overcome the lack of trust or motivation to take part,
So that I'm willing and able to take part and my voice can be heard.

I need strong relationships with school st
So that

Partners need to get to know the families, their context and unique needs,
So that we can identify if individual / one-to-one support
And able them to have a space to talk in a more private setting.

Schools - ensure that there are feedback mechanisms in place across the different classes, to ensure that every child has a voice and have a say, in terms of what they're learning but also what's happening in the community.

All stakeholder - see ideas put in action

I imagine seeing ideas put into action would be good motivation for many stakeholders to get interested and involved and to stay involved.

# data[].attributes.body
As community leaders / community gatekeeper - I think they would need for their work up to this point to be recognised and their experience valued, and ideas going forward valued

# data[].attributes.body
As a local business they could be interested to see any changes will help their local business but also be keen to give back to the community

Inexperience in co-design and knowing what it means could put stakeholders off.   Co-design can seem like a longer process which can impact on availability to participate

Making sure that we highlight what we're doing, what the ELC is about, so they have all the information to get involved and gain trust. Show why this is different and how it differs to the standard service provision.

Confidence - ensure that they understand that they can be part of the definition of service provision in their area.

Access (digital) - issues with engaging online or digitally.

Access (physical spaces) - ensure that the place works for people and is accessible.

# data[].attributes.body
Some people dojn\t see it as their place to be involved with professionals and service delivery improvement in their area. WE need to communicate that it is their place - they are exactly the people we need

Barrier when partners don't have shared view of what the barriers or needs might be so there's no share commitment.

Perception of what others look like and do.

Bridge could be to take an asset-based approach.

Values around individual vs. collective response.

Shared values across the whole system, and making sure that partners are signing up to it.

Not presuming the values, strategy and commitment but signing-up to it.

Barriers to participation:- You need to have buy in from the community.  They have often been consulted with for various community initiatives with no physical outcomes.

Damage that's been done that needs to be undone.

"Over-consulted and under-delivered"

Community have been consulted several times but don't see the impact and change happening in their community.

Bridge:
There could be enough info from multiple previous consultations in Bettws to implement a few of these to get that buy in and trust and motivation to get involved.

# data[].attributes.body
There's a lot of agencies doing different initiatives so it's about building momentum around things that are happening.

(About to start)

Work with the local youth community workers team.

Children will lead the mental mapping of where we play now.

Funding to do a follow-up piece of work.

# data[].attributes.body
(Already ongoing and up and running)

Confidence has grown in the group to come forward and discuss.

Hopefully when community centres open back we can open up the group, to have enough people involved to get co-production going.

# data[].attributes.body
(Possible opportunity)

Volunteer group and help reinvigorate when the time is right as has slowed down slightly during the pandemic (because of shielding and fear of doing things outside etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
We could perhaps do more participatory work outdoors as things ease up and the weather improves.

However, there is fear in the community to do things even outside.

# data[].attributes.body
There's an opportunity for both the partners and community to reset as some of the restrictions are easing and we're going back to a different 'normal' - opportunity to ensure that co-production is part of this new way of doing things.

We have to consider that there's going to be a considerable amount of community trauma. Opportunity to acknowledge that and start conversations, need to be mindful of how we do it.
