Issue - meetings

A report requesting approval of the JSNA, support for its dissemination within member organisations, and encouraging its use in the planning and commissioning of relevant services.

Michael Maddocks, Programme Manager (JSNA) and Kelly Hayward, Public Health Service Manager presented the report to the Board and confirmed that there is a live dashboard that members can access which will be continually developed to build interactive and up to date information.  The live dashboard will be regularly updated with new content continually added to it.

The menu on the dashboard will take you to the high impact areas.  Each area’s page has an introduction page and highlights the key messages for each area.  Information is also available on how they data is collected and used.  Information also includes a set of principles and a much more manageable number of high level recommendations.  It will also allow partners to respond to child health needs.

It was noted that there is a sub-group monitoring the progress of the JSNA and driving the system approach of supporting the commissioned services.

Recognising the impact and value of the health surveillance and making sure that every contact count course; officers will ensure this is used as a tool across the service.

It was confirmed that the creation of the live dashboard was done with the engagement with range of different colleagues to create the most effective dashboard possible.

The Chair made a request that the Board receives regular feedback from this service and that the Children and Young People’s Partnership Board also monitor the progress.
