Lots of knowledge and good promotion of other services.

Open and committed.

Communication.

Works well at the Partnership Boards as it knows about lots of different services.

Signposting and making referrals.

It's already excellent!

Maybe a little more detail, if possible, about the potential clients.

To carry on engaging others and sharing best practice, being responsive to what is shared with them by the experts.

It can't everything working fine.

They are already doing an amazing job.

I’m ok with everything.

Advertise.

It is already a brilliant partnership.

Passing the referrals to the company with the right skill set.

I’d say perhaps how we receive referrals.

I'm happy.

I am very satisfied with the current service.

Telling the customers it’s not a free service and we need to make a living.

By giving me more work.

Regular informal meetings with relevant partners.

Doing very well.

Not really, we work very well with them.

Distill the number of offers in a meaningful way so can be conveyed in an impactful way.

None.

I'm more than happy with the way things are.

Promote their service to Health and Social Care partners via team meetings, engagement at PCN etc. 

Regular contact so we know what’s on each season especially for household support.

Care Network welcomes the social work team to touch base 1 morning per week and provide a direct response to the local people.

At times we receive referrals according to the felt need of family members without the service user consent or desire to engage.
This is something difficult to navigate and not necessarily something that can improve due to complex nature of communication
between family and service users and third parties.

Continue to provide an excellent service to the people of the Borough.

I don't think they can improve.

Very happy thank you.

Keep doing what you do.

Work more with children services and the Family Hubs.

Everything is fine.

None, happy with service you provide.

None, it's good.

Phone calls as well as emails maybe ?

I do not feel they need to improve this for the involvement I have with the service as a LeDeR reviewer.

It can't because everything works fine.

I already receive regular updates.

I like emails.

Communication is good.

Perhaps a ‘ text ‘ service where ‘ less ‘ important information is communicated increasing efficiency. 

Communication is very satisfactory.

I would find receiving referrals via text or WhatsApp better. With work and life being really busy I’d pick up and remember referrals
more as I use text and WhatsApp every day. Receiving so many emails daily sometimes referrals get lost in the list.
I’ve never gone over the 5 day contact, but sometimes emails can get forgotten.

I think its fine how it is now.

Email communication is fine for me. Occasionally I receive contact directly by phone. This arrangement works for me.

Stay the same.

They can’t.

Would like to receive the monthly bulletin.

None, excellent communication.

Communication is not an issue they are very accessible.

Quarterly or 6 monthly updates to neighbourhoods around any support offers/changes to support.

None.

They're very good at communicating.

Bulletin, newsletter.

Regular weekly or monthly newsletters with updated events etc.

Strive to keep working relationships with the social work team moving forward.

Not sure.

Communication is already very strong - we have members of staff who utilise the Hub on a regular basis,
and they tend to share any updates and information that you have.

Maybe share information between the staff members.

All good.

Usually communicate directly with the team via e-mail and phone, which suits me.

Outreach service from our 4 family hubs to the parents and carers of the Borough.

A really valued partner.  Keep up the good work.

No, in the last year we have been very happy with Care Network.

Thank you to the team, there are many experts by experience who feel supported. Well done to you all.

Excellent staff and management of the whole care network organisation.

Possibly more advertising with the public.

My experience so far with Care Network has been great. Some lovely customers. The Hub are always lovely to speak to.
Really appreciate the steady flow of referrals being passed to me. 

I’m happy to work for a great service.

Great service, friendly helpful volunteers and staff - thank you.

Just a great team James and Debbie and the rest of the team will go above and beyond to make sure that they are accommodating
to the needs of their service users. Creating a fun and safe environment for them to air any views and make
friends and enjoy themselves.

Great service which we use.

Things are continuously changing so a newsletter would be good.

I hope Adult Services and Children Services can come together and offer services through the various hubs across the Borough.
