**Background**

Healthwatch Cornwall is one of 152 local Healthwatch formed in response to the Health and Social Care Act 2012. Healthwatch England provides representation at national level and Healthwatch Cornwall is funded by the Department of Health via Cornwall Council.

Our vision is to inspire positive change in Cornwall’s health and social care system through effective public engagement. We exist to ensure people and communities have a strong voice to influence and challenge how health and social care services are provided within their area.

Healthwatch Cornwall (HC) is a Community Interest Company (CIC) who act as a ‘critical friend’ to the commissioners and providers of health and social care services to enable progressive and beneficial decisions to be made.

**Organisational Expectations**

Healthwatch Cornwall aims to provide a high quality service to the public and to our stakeholders, adhering to the principles of best practice, promoting equal opportunities and working positively with all of Cornwall’s diverse communities. Healthwatch is a forward-thinking organisation and the people who work for us must be committed to developing and enhancing the services we provide.

Continuous engagement is required with and across target lived experience groups and professionals to identify ongoing and emerging issues and to ensure diverse representation, including from people whose experiences are not being heard.
