This week’s HLINks: 4 – 8 July 2022

Jeremy Porteus

Welcome back to #Jeremytalks (opens new window). What a week it has been on the policy and political front!

First a bit of normality! This week was #CoProWeek (opens new window) and the Housing LIN has been busy promoting the benefits of co-production (opens new window) as an opportunity to transform the way housing, health and care services are designed and delivered into an approach that offers people real choice, and control. 

Continuing this week’s theme of co-production, we were delighted to announce the successful ‘Co-Production and Engagement’ and 'Evaluation and Shared Learning’ partner for ‘TAPPI2: from Principles to Implementation’. We welcome Co-Production Works and The Cambridge Centre for Housing and Planning Research (CCHPR) on board the next stage of the project, led by the Housing LIN in partnership with TEC Services Association and funded by The Dunhill Medical Trust. Read the full announcement here.

We also held a successful HAPPI Hour webinar on technology and housing with guest speakers from the Department of Health and Social Care, The Dunhill Medical Trust and Tunstall Healthcare. Missed it? The recording, presentation slides and chat report are now available to download here.

In other news that caught my interest, we signpost to:

And lastly, with the Prime Minister forced to resign, the Secretary of State Michael Gove MP sacked - and replaced by Greg Clark - and the Cabinet in turmoil, I noted that the chair of the government's Housing for Older People Taskforce, Housing Minister Stuart Andrew MP, had also resigned. We await further information about his replacement at ministerial level and leading the Taskforce. However, as they say, a week in politics is a long time!
