Market Position Statement 2023 - 2033

Our vision is for people to live great lives. People will live healthy, happy and independent lives, in the place they call home and with the people they love because we will commission services which are based on what people want to enable them to live a full and independent life.

• For children and young people this means ensuring they are enabled to have the best start in life with access to services which support a safe and healthy childhood and work seamlessly when moving to adulthood.
• For everyone, regardless of their age or ability, our vision means they will be able to live their lives well in their community with a range of universal and specialist services which support a healthy, independent and fulfilling life.
• For older people this means they will age well at home in their community with their family and friends. When more support is needed, it will start with a conversation about what makes a great life for them and there will be just enough of the right kind of support to enable them to keep living the life they want.

To achieve our vision we are transforming the way we commission. We will be:

• Focussing on people’s experience and their outcomes – successful services will be those that provide good experiences and support people to live great lives.
• Thinking and working whole-life – joining up our thinking and planning to seek opportunities which support people across their whole-life.
• Forward thinking and outward looking – creating new partnerships, finding new ways and planning further ahead to shape resilient care and support models and markets of the future.
• Taking a strengths and asset-based approach – designing services which enable people to live their lives in the place they call home and to utilise the things in their community.
• Embedding co-production – involving people who use services and their families and carers in the design and production of new services.
• Striving for outstanding quality - collaborating with providers to improve people’s lives by driving up standards, building resilience and improving quality.
