Event Management and Facilitation
Disability Support Advisory Committee - Community Forum
Client:
Capital and Coast District Health Board (C&C DHB)
Project Background:
C&C DHB developed Promoting Participation - Kotahi Tātou as a document to guide the delivery, management and governance of health and disability services, and ensure services align with the principles of the New Zealand Disability Strategy. The C&C DHB Disability Support Advisory Committee (DSAC) invited community members to attend a forum to provide guidance on the future direction of Promoting Participation – Kotahi Tātou.
Our Involvement:
Litmus worked closely with C&C DHB to facilitate the forum and ensure an inclusive process was used to enable the diversity of voices to be heard. We:
- designed the forum agenda, which used storytelling and future-focused techniques
- synthesised and reported on feedback from participants
- gained approval from participants to share their stories
- identified key recommendations.
Key Outcomes:
The feedback and recommendations from the forum are informing C&C DHB’s future direction for Promoting Participation - Kotahi Tātou.
