Day 7: Engagement in the City

Giving everyone in Sheffield a voice

“Thank you for the opportunity to get voices and needs of refugees heard and reflected in the process, it feels like a real privilege to have that access for these clients”

-The Refugee Council

Reaching diverse groups across Sheffield has been a key emphasis for the Engagement Team this year to ensure that the voices of our most vulnerable communities are heard in our commissioning.  Their work and the information they have gathered has had a significant impact on the decisions made around Sheffield services over the last year.

Partnerships across the city

A highlight for the Engagement team has been working with specialist groups, and allowing their voice to have an impact on the commissioning of health services in Sheffield.

Examples of these partnerships include:

  • The Cathedral Archer Project: helping homeless communities to have more of a voice in local health services, allowing individuals to practice employment skills using peer to peer engagement in return for food vouchers, and also organising a Christmas collection for essential items this winter.
  • The Deaf Advice team: producing more accessible information to the Deaf community, including BSL interpretations
  • The Refugee Council: providing opportunities for feedback to be heard from individuals and support workers about how services are working for these communities in the City
  • Translation of information documents into community languages, to enable more people to have their say

Engagement Manager Richard Kennedy said: “We’re so pleased that we have been able to work with communities throughout Sheffield to allow then to help us shape future services so that they genuinely work for them, rather than them having to find a way around our health services in order to benefit.”
