Welcome to Weaving the Web - the podcast series from the National Expert Citizens Group (NECG).

In this series, we'll be exploring examples of good practice around our four strategic priorities. These are the issues lying at the heart of what's known as 'multiple disadvantage' – where someone experiences a combination of several unmet health and social needs – in England and Wales today.

In our third episode, we'll be exploring the second of our strategic priorities: dual diagnosis (also known as co-occurring needs), and taking a look at coproduced approaches to service commissioning. We’ll be speaking to Laurence and Beth from the Essex Recovery Foundation about the groundbreaking approach being taken in Essex, where the local recovery community is working with the council to coproduce healthy systems and healthy outcomes for those in recovery.

Coordinated by Revolving Doors, the NECG is the lived experience group for people in the Changing Futures programme, a joint-funded initiative of the National Lottery Community Fund and the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government. By co-producing solutions with people who have lived experience of multiple disadvantage, we’re here to shape system change and advocate for services that are trauma-informed, accessible and person-centred.
