The COVID-19 emergency is demanding radical changes in how public systems, communities and civil society organisations support those in need across the UK. Funders, Government and Civil Society are rallying in support. With so much activity taking place at an unprecedented pace, it is imperative we learn from elsewhere and each other. We’ll be working with the Collaborative to bring learning from the outside in, and learning from the inside, out. Here we provide a brief overview of how we expect this will look and evolve.

In 2015, the Lab joined forces with the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) National Unit to collaborate on the ‘ADAPT’ programme, the second generation of the FNP service aimed at improving outcomes for children and young parents and reducing inequalities. We set out to enhance the flexibility of the existing service and improve the efficiency of the programme. Five years after beginning the project, we are pleased to join FNP in launching the final report with all our many learnings and recommendations from the experience.

Fusing a science-based approached to service design and system reform with an inclusive approach that involves the people who use and deliver services.
