We are back with another
live episode – this time from adult social care at
Wiltshire Council. The session took place at Community Care Live 2024.
This is a really special episode where you will hear direct from an adult who not only works within Wiltshire through Wiltshire Centre for Independent Living but also uses services that Wiltshire Council provide. This session is about how service users and practitioners can work together in co-production to enable disabled people in Wiltshire to be able to live the life they want.
In this session they talk about practical ways to enable this to happen, such as changing assessment forms, different approaches and language. They explain how working together has improved the lives of adults with disabilities. The unique innovator and pioneer approach is really working and the hope is that those who work in adult social care will benefit from listening to this session.
You will also hear the Q&A session at the end. Don’t forget this podcast episode also counts as CPD.
The workshop was hosted by Kaylie Chapman - principal social worker at
Wiltshire Council's adult social care.

Dan Wilkins - Head of transformation and quality assurance
Leila Dickson - Assistant team manager in the advice and contact team
Abbie-Jo Lawrence - Pioneer from Wiltshire Centre for Independent Living
