The <a href="https://www.ustsc.org.uk/the-giving-scheme/">One Southwark</a> programme led by <a href="https://www.ustsc.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">United St Saviours</a> aims to transform lives and opportunities for young people experiencing disadvantage through collective action. One Southwark takes a person-centred approach and links young people to opportunities in it’s growing network of local businesses, funders, community groups and residents, while at the same time mobilising this network to make the systemic changes needed to level the playing field.</p> <p>IVAR will act as learning partner to the programme, supporting the team to capture young people’s journeys. The IVAR team will work closely with the cohort of 20 young people to explore the barriers to young people’s progression in Southwark and the systematic changes needed, involving them closely in the design of the research and outputs. IVAR will also collect data and insight into the experiences and perspectives of One Southwark Coalition members and delivery partners. Through this research, IVAR will draw out learning about the programme, share insights on the model of using collective action and a person-centred approach to achieve systems and behaviour change and use this to understand how it might be replicated elsewhere.</p> </div> <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><i class="fal fa-times"><span class="sr-only">Close</span></i></button> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class=" ivar__block"> </div> <div id="CPAR" class="modal fade" tabindex="-1"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-scrollable modal-dialog-centered modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content bg-cream text-green"> <div class="modal-body"> <div><p>NHS Workforce Training and Education Southeast (NHS WT&E SE) has commissioned IVAR to support community researchers’ development on the Community Participatory Action Research project, for example by improving skills and knowledge on action planning, communication and how the system works.</p> <p>We are working with community researchers to join the dots between conversations with local and national stakeholders so that community-led research can inform the priorities and development of health services for marginalised communities in the Southeast.
