Our Black Country communities are truly at the heart of The Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF) and we need help from community organisations, advocates and community members to help us make the change we need to. There will be different ways to get involved and the first two ways you can make a difference are below.


Work with us to produce the PCREF improvement plan

We need community organisations to hold/attend locality-based (Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall or Wolverhampton) engagement events or focus groups that consider the needs of: children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing; learning disabilities; autism; adult and older adult mental health and wellbeing.

There is funding available to support engagement and co-production of plans.

Establish an independent advisory network

We need host organisations who can bring together and support a network representing racialised communities in one or more locality of the Black Country (Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall or Wolverhampton).

Organisations would be expected to have funding in place or be in the process of a funding application (we can support).

You can read more about this opportunity in our leaflet and interested organisations should complete the online expression of interest form below.
