## **Healthwatch Islington** 

## **Year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **Directors Report** 

Healthwatch lslington is a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee, set up in February 2013. lt is led by a Board of Trustees, has a staff team made up of five people and a volunteer team of around 20. We are here to influence health and care commissioning in and around lslington and to provide local residents with information about local services and their rights to access those. We are part of a network of Healthwatch organisations across England. 

We are working for the best health and social care for local people 

We aim to: 

- collect knowledge that reflects the diversity of needs and experiences within the borough and encourage people to feedback their honest views on services, 

- use the evidence we gather to influence service delivery, provision and commissioning for the benefit of local people to improve their experience, 

- reach out to and empower our local community to be informed about and involved in local services and exercise choice in taking up services, including supporting them to get on-line to do this 

- support the independent assessment and audit of local services. 

## **2020-21 Activities and Achievements** 

During the pandemic we’ve adapted how we work and supported our partners to do the same. We are committed to engaging our residents using new ways, and old ways, to safely hear your views and help you access services. 

We know many residents continue to experience very difficult times during the current crisis and that inequalities have exacerbated the impacts. We have focused on providing residents with good quality information about Coronavirus, access to services, and vaccinations. We’ve hosted a range of events attended by over 450 residents and voluntary sector partners. We’re looking at the data on who attended so we know who we missed and who we need to work harder to reach out to. We’ve offered phone-based signposting advice and information support to over 240 residents. In addition, we worked with our Diverse Communities Health Voice partners to provide reliable information about the pandemic to 680 residents from communities whose first language is not English. 

We’ve adapted our digital inclusion support, offering one-to-one and group sessions remotely to over 130 people. We continue to work with our partners to ensure this work has reach. We also ran several workshops for voluntary sector colleagues to help them to move services online and support residents to access them. Our safeguarding framework for remote digital support has received recognition from Digital Unite and Good Things Foundation, and our Digital Champion volunteer David Mallory won Islington Volunteer of the Year. 



Whilst we recognise that digital is not for everyone, we are keen to work with borough partners to ensure that help is made available to those who are interested but need support to get online. We’ve been researching the barriers to getting online. Many residents lack skills and confidence and we are supporting them to access well-being tools, understand internet safety, and to attend our virtual health information workshops. We have worked with Healthwatch colleagues in Brighton, Healthwatch England and the Consultation Institute to develop engagement tools for working with residents who are not online. 

We’re taking a leading role in tackling inequity and discrimination co-chairing the Challenging Inequality workstreams of the borough’s Fairer Together Partnership Board and All Age Mental Health Partnership Board. We also represent North Central London Healthwatch and the Clinical Commissioning Groups Patient, Public Engagement and Equality committee. 

We are committed to bringing resources in to our Diverse Communities Health Voices partnership to ensure that residents supported by grass-roots organisations get access to services through these partners. This year we raised over £70,000 for our partners. See more about our partners here: - https://www.healthwatchislington.co.uk/our partners 

We’ve also evaluated Maya Centre’s remote therapy services, gathering and analysing feedback from staff and service users on their experiences of virtual counselling during the pandemic. We focused on their person-centred approach to evolving their offer. If your organisation would like to commission our evaluation service, contact our Chief Executive. 

Our year in numbers 

- 781 people shared the health and social care story with us 

- 922 people accessed the Healthwatch advice and information service with questions about local support 

- 15,000+ visits to Covid-related information on our website 

- We published 5 reports about local people's experiences of services and the improvements they would like to see. 

For more information, see our Annual Report to the Secretary of State for Health:

## **Risk and Reserves policy** 

Board members regular review our risk register and take a proactive approach to risk management. A risk assessment is carried out for all new work, this includes consideration of safeguarding implications, and from now on will include considerations for social distancing and infection control. Our aim is to use the resources available to us in the most effective way possible, Healthwatch lslington holds reserves as part of its responsible approach to finance. The Board decides what should be held and why and review this on a regular basis. The Board may agree to draw down on reserves where emergencies or unforeseen circumstances arise. A
