Channel Title: Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) Channel Description: The Social Care Institute for Excellence improves the lives of people of all ages by co-producing, sharing, and supporting the use of the best available knowledge and evidence about what works in practice. We are a leading improvement support agency and an independent charity working with organisations that support adults, families and children across the UK.

The Accelerating Reform Fund will focus on embedding and scaling approaches to transform care and support including for unpaid carers, who play such a vital, selfless role in our society. This will accelerate progress towards the government’s social care vision where people have choice, control and support to live independent lives, and where care and support is of outstanding quality and is provided in a fair, accessible way. Local authorities are invited to register their interest with the DHSC by 12 January 2024, in partnership with others in their integrated care systems, to fund local innovation projects. Local authorities will be guided by a list of priorities, and are expected to work collaboratively with others such as the NHS, care providers, voluntary and community sector groups, including unpaid carers. DHSC has appointed SCIE to provide hands-on support to local areas in developing local partnerships and delivering projects, ensuring participants benefit from valuable shared learnings, peer support and expert insights across the country. With a wealth of trusted expertise in working collaboratively to help local areas transform care, SCIE will help identify issues and challenges, galvanising co-production and ensuring people who need care and unpaid carers are at the heart of the programme.

They talk about the need to increase equity and diversity, demonstrate the impact of co-production, access better training and development and have clearer definitions and language around co-production and social care. Co-production Week is SCIE's annual celebration of the benefits of co-production where we share good practice and hope to spark discussions to improve people’s experience of co-production in social care.
